Kasidy

Kasidy is a feminine given name used in English-speaking countries. It is often regarded as a modern variant or spelling of Cassidy, a name with Irish roots. Cassidy itself derives from the Irish surname Ó Caiseide (descendant of Caiseide) or Ó Coise, and has been associated with the meaning “curly-haired” in popular usage. Kasidy's spelling is one of several contemporary variants and does not have a single fixed origin; it arose in the late 20th century as part of a broader trend toward alternative spellings of traditional names.

In fiction, Kasidy Yates is a recurring character in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The character was introduced in the series and is depicted as a freighter captain who interacts with the main crew.
