Caster is English in Origin.
Caster blends two streams of etymology. As an Anglicized variant of Greek Castor (Kástōr), it carries the ancient mythic pedigree of the Dioscuri, protectors of sailors, and is tied to the Gemini star. In Greek, kástōr means “beaver,” a cautious but accepted meaning for the name. Separately, Caster also echoes the toponymic -caster in English place‑names (from Latin castrum, “Roman camp/fort”), so as a transferred surname it can suggest “from the Roman camp.”
Usage has been sporadic in the English‑speaking world - rare as a given name but seen via surname‑to‑forename patterns - while the Castor form appears in Christian calendars through saints such as Castor of Apt. Variants include Castor, Kastor, Cástor (Spanish/Portuguese), and Castore (Italian); nicknames Cas and Cass are common. Predominantly masculine, Caster sometimes functions as a modern unisex choice.
