About the name Cassius

Between a Roman assassin, a Shakespearean schemer and the greatest heavyweight in history, Cassius has collected more edge than most classical names. Its ascent in the last decade owes a lot to the nickname Cash, which drags the whole thing firmly into the present.

Cassius is a boy name of Latin origin, pronounced KASH-us. On the NameRarity scale it scores 59 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the steadily rising.
