Cassidy (Irish: Ó Caiside / Ó Casaide) is a common Irish surname and is sometimes used as a given name. The surname translates to "descendant of Caiside". Variations include: Cassady, Cassiday, Cassedy and Cassedey. The family was originally a Munster sept called Uí Chaisín[1] but in the 12th century a branch moved to Devenish Island in County Fermanagh, where they became a medical and poetic family, hereditary physicians to the Maguires.
