The kaspar Surname
kaspar Name Meaning and History
German, Czech (Kašpar), Slovak (Gašpar), and Slovenian (Kaspar and
Kašpar): from the personal name Kaspar,
Kašpar, which was especially popular in central Europe up to
the 18th century. From Persian kaehbaed, khazana-dar, or
ganjvaer, all meaning ‘treasure bearer’, it was ascribed by
popular tradition in Europe to one of the three Magi. The supposed
remains of the Magi were taken in the 12th century from Constantinople
to Cologne, where they became objects of veneration. See also
Baltazar and Melchior.
