Miacassandra

female

Origin

The name Miacassandra appears to be a modern, constructed name with roots combining 'Mia', a popular name of Latin origin meaning 'mine', and 'Cassandra', derived from Greek mythology.

In contemporary Australia, Miacassandra is likely an innovative blend rather than traditional. It bears no specific historical mention in ancient texts but reflects a trend towards unique, hyphenated or combined names.
