“A Magi name with Persian roots and Scandinavian charm”
Kaspen is a variant spelling of Caspar or Kaspar, tracing back to the Persian name Jaspar or Gizbar, meaning treasurer. The name entered European consciousness through the Biblical Magi, where Caspar (or Casper) is traditionally named as one of the three wise men who brought gifts to the infant Jesus, though the name does not appear in Scripture itself.
While Casper and Caspar have been used for centuries across Northern and Central Europe, the Kaspen spelling adds a fresh modern twist. The name has seen renewed interest as parents seek names that feel simultaneously vintage and distinctive.
In Christian tradition, Caspar is one of the Three Magi or Wise Men, making it a name with deep religious heritage. In Scandinavian and Dutch cultures, the name has a long history as an aristocratic given name.
