"Κασσάνδρα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Κασσάνδρα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /kas.sán.draː/, /kasˈsan.dra/, /kaˈsan.dra/, /kas.sán.draː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kasˈsan.dra/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kasˈsan.dra/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kasˈsan.dra/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kaˈsan.dra/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Feminine form of Κάσσανδρος (Kássandros). Etymology unclear: first element possibly from κέκασμαι (kékasmai, “I shine; excel over”). Connected to Latin censeō (“to honour”) and Sanskrit संसयति (saṃsayati, “to announce”). Second element likely comes from ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”). The rarer form Κεσ(σ)άνδρα (Kes(s)ándra) appears to be more ancient; compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀐𐀭𐀅𐀨 (ke-sa-da-ra).
