Kasperi is Finnish in Origin.
Kasperi is the Finnish form of Caspar/Gaspar, ultimately traced to the Persian–Aramaic term gizbar/ganzabara meaning “treasurer” or “keeper of the treasure.” Its European spread stems from Christian tradition naming Caspar as one of the Magi, reinforcing associations with gift-bearing and wisdom.
In Finland, Kasperi has been recorded since the 19th century and gained traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The -i ending reflects a common Finnish adaptation pattern, and Kassu is a familiar nickname. In many Nordic calendars, the name is linked with Epiphany on 6 January due to its Magi connection. Close variants include Kasper (Finnish/Scandinavian), Casper (Dutch/German), Kaspar (German/Central European), Gaspar (Spanish/Portuguese), Gaspard (French), Jasper (English), Kacper (Polish), and Kašpar (Czech). Feminine or unisex forms are uncommon, though Jasper occasionally sees cross-gender use in English-speaking contexts.
