You're right. here's what it says on Cassandra;"From the Greek name Κασσάνδρα (Kassandra), derived from possibly κέκασμαι (kekasmai) meaning "to excel, to shine" and ἀνήρ (aner) meaning "man" (genitive ἀνδρός)."Does this mean "to excel/shine beyond men" or is it one of those instances where it came from a masculine form and that means for "a man to excel/shine" ?
