Conservatively and true to the initial name:

CassQL => Cassandra Query Language

A bit more left-field:

CQ => Cassandra Query
CL => Cassandra Language

I'm partial to CQ myself, as it:
 * Suggests a verb - "seek".
 * Has geeky secondary [but highly relevant] meaning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CQ_(call)
 * Is typographically striking, suggesting infinity.
