Some authors considered this species to be the same as the Iago Sparrow, and some recognise only some of the rufous sparrows as separate from the Great Sparrow, but the Handbook of the Birds of the World recognises the Socotra Sparrow, Kenya Sparrow, Kordofan Sparrow, and Shelley's Sparrow.
He is commemorated himself in the names of a number of birds from western North America, including the Cassin's Auklet, Cassin's Kingbird, Cassin's Vireo, Cassin's Sparrow, and Cassin's Finch.
