Linguistic explanation and meaning

A Latin name designating someone belonging to Cassius or the Cassia gens.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza z latinského mena Cassianus, odvodeného príponou -ianus od rímskeho rodového mena Cassius. Pôvodne označovalo človeka patriaceho ku Cassiovi alebo k rodu Cassiovcov. Samotné meno Cassius má neistú etymológiu; jeho spájanie s latinským prídavným menom cassus („prázdny“, „márny“) je iba jednou z možných hypotéz.
