The Story of Jazper
Jazper is a creative spelling variant of Jasper, which derives from Old French 'jaspre' and ultimately from Persian 'ganzabara' meaning 'treasurer' or 'keeper of treasure.' The stone jasper (a form of chalcedony) also shares this etymology. The 'z' spelling gives the name a more contemporary, energetic feel.
Jasper has been rising in popularity since the 2000s, boosted significantly by the character Jasper Hale in the Twilight saga. The alternate spelling Jazper appeals to parents wanting the sound of Jasper with a more distinctive look.
Jasper is traditionally one of the Three Wise Men (Magi) in Christian tradition, though not named in the Bible itself. The stone jasper is mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The name thus carries both gemstone and spiritual associations.
