Krisandra

US Popularity Rank: 10917

Origin: Greek

Meaning: One who transcends man; Unheeded prophetess

Krisandra is a feminine name inspired by Kristine and Cassandra, blending Greek mythology with Christianity. Woven from several roots, Krisandra means “follower of Christ” from Kristine and “one who transcends man” or “unheeded prophetess” from Cassandra. Cassandra was a beautiful priestess who rejected the god Apollo’s advances and was cursed to foretell terrible fates but never be believed. While the origins of this name are tragic, perhaps baby Krisandra will hone their discernment to find true happiness and fulfillment on their path.
