Caspar

Usually interpreted as “treasurer”.

Caspar is usually explained as “treasurer”, with roots traced to a Persian title. The exact route into the European name is less certain than that familiar meaning suggests. In Christian tradition, Caspar is one of the Magi who visit Jesus; the biblical account itself does not give their names. The firm opening and the consonants in the middle give Caspar a brisk, substantial feel. Kaspar and Casper are close spellings, so choosing Caspar means choosing both the initial C and the final -ar. In the recorded British pronunciation, the C sounds like k and the stress falls at the start.

Etymology: A Latin name form, usually traced ultimately to a Persian word for a treasurer; its path through intermediate languages is uncertain.
