Sandra is also a Polish name. As for now I guess it's used more often as a name on its own than a diminutive of Aleksandra, because the most common nickname that almost every single Aleksandra goes by is Ola. Sandra became popular sometime between 70s-80s and is still fairly popular. It can be of course also a diminutive of Kasandra, but Kasandra isn't particularly popular. Sandra can be nicknamed to Sandi, Sandrusia or Sandrunia for instance. Pronounced SAHND-rah.

Just like Cassandra, which can be said kuh-SAN-druh or kuh-SAHN-druh, this name can be pronounced SAN-druh or SAHN-druh. I've known two that use the latter pronunciation (one short for Cassandra one as a given name) and one pronounced SAN-druh (short for Cassandra).
