What is the meaning of the name Gaspero ?

The baby name Gaspero is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ɡaˈspɛro/ — gah-SPEH-ro.

Gaspero is Italian in Origin.

Gaspero is a rare Italian given name within the Caspar/Jasper family. It reflects the medieval Latin Casparus, itself probably from Persian ganzabara “treasure-bearer” or the Hebrew gizbar “treasurer.” Through Christian tradition naming one of the Magi as Caspar/Gaspar, the name spread across Europe; Italian parish records from the Renaissance onward show sporadic use of Gaspero alongside the more common Gaspare and Gasparo, especially in regional spellings.

Meaning “treasurer/keeper of treasure,” Gaspero carries Epiphany associations of gifts and wisdom. Close Italian variants include Gaspare (standard) and Gasparo (older/poetic); diminutives and surnominal forms include Gasparino, Gasperino, Gasperini, Gaspari, and Gasparro. Cognates abound: Spanish/Portuguese/Catalan Gaspar, French Gaspard, German/Scandinavian Caspar or Kaspar, Dutch and English Jasper, Polish Kacper, Czech Kašpar, Slovene Gašper, and Hungarian Gáspár. Today Gaspero is uncommon but distinctive, preserving a venerable, pan-European heritage.

Gaspero is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 11 times, across 1 country.
