Origin: Persian

Meaning: Treasurer

Prizes and riches come in many different forms, and Kaspar, a boy's name hailing from Persian origins, safeguards all these beautiful bounties. Originating from the name Casper, perhaps best known as being a friendly ghost of your childhood, this moniker means "treasurer." Casper itself can be traced back to the Old Testament, where Casper appeared as one of the three wise men who gifted the baby Jesus with prizes of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Presents can also come in the form of tales, as is seen in Michael Morpurgo's children's fiction novel Kaspar: Prince of Cats, a story about a cat who has traveled the world to survive many plights, including the sinking of the Titanic! With this crowning jewel of baby names, your little Kasper will be the keepsake of all your family treasures, safely storing away heirlooms, shiny memories, and family tales alike.
