Cassand -
something very, very special - even in her home state Mississippi!

If you’re looking for someone named Cassand, you might want to head to Mississippi. Why Mississippi of all places? Well, simply because, according to official statistics, there are no women or girls named Cassand living in any other state. However, we have to admit that a first name is only listed in the official statistics of a state if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it may well be that there are still a few women and girls named Cassand living in one state or another. But, in any case the name is extremely rare (if your name happens to be Cassand and you live outside of Mississippi, we would be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can refine our statistics even further). By the way, even in Mississippi, the name Cassand is not really that common – there are only 5 women and girls with this name living there right now, which is not more than 0.00026% of all female residents of Mississippi – so if you are one of them, you can rightly say that you are someone very special!
