Language Old French
First Recorded Use Medieval

History

The name Jasper is derived from the Old French 'jaspre', which itself comes from the Latin 'iaspidem' and Greek 'iaspis', all referring to the gemstone jasper. The gemstone has been valued since antiquity and is mentioned in the Bible (Revelation 21:19) as one of the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem. The name's association with one of the Three Magi (often named Caspar, Gaspar, or Jasper in Western tradition) significantly boosted its popularity as a given name, particularly in the Low Countries and later in England. While 'Caspar' is more common for the Magus in some traditions, 'Jasper' became a distinct and popular variant. It saw a resurgence in the 19th century and has maintained a steady presence since.

First Recorded Use

The name has a sophisticated yet approachable feel.
