Gasparo is Italian in Origin.
Gasparo is the Italian (especially Venetian and older) variant of Gaspare, cognate with Gaspar/Caspar, Jasper, and French Gaspard. It descends from Middle Persian ganzabara or ganj-bār, “treasurer, bearer of treasure,” transmitted into Europe through Syriac and Greek Christian traditions. The core meaning is treasurer or bringer of treasure.
Use spread through the naming of one of the Magi as Caspar/Gaspar, giving Gasparo an Epiphany association. The name was well established in Renaissance and early modern Italy, borne by Cardinal Gasparo Contarini, the luthier Gasparo da Salò, and the writer Gasparo Gozzi. Today it is rare, with Gaspare the standard Italian form, but Gasparo retains a distinctive Venetian-tinged flavor. Related forms include Spanish and Portuguese Gaspar, English Jasper, German/Dutch Casper, Kaspar, or Kasper, French Gaspard, Polish Kacper, and Hungarian Gáspár; regional diminutives include Gasparino. Italian name day: 6 January.
