Miacassandra

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. 'Cassandra' comes from the Greek 'Kassandra', meaning 'she who entangles men', and was the name of a Trojan prophetess. 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.
