Kaspar is in Origin.
Kaspar is the Germanic and Central European form of a name best known from the Magi tradition, where Caspar/Gaspar appears alongside Melchior and Balthazar. Though the Bible leaves the wise men unnamed, late antique and medieval sources fixed Caspar as one of them, which spread the name across Christendom. Etymology points to an Iranian or Semitic root meaning “treasurer” or “keeper of treasure”: compare Middle Persian ganzabara (“treasurer”) and Hebrew-Aramaic gizbar (from Akkadian gizbaru). The popular meaning “treasure-bearer” reflects the Magus bringing gifts.
Variants include Caspar and Jasper in English/Dutch, Gaspar in Spanish and Portuguese, Gaspard in French, Kasper in Scandinavian languages, Kacper in Polish, Kašpar in Czech, Gašper in Slovene, Gáspár in Hungarian, Kasperi in Finnish, and Kasparas in Lithuanian. Kaspar has been continuously used in German-speaking regions and enjoys periodic revivals in Northern and Eastern Europe today.
