Kaspen is of Scandinavian origin, derived from the Old Norse 'Kassper'. It is an alternate form of the more common Scandinavian name Casper. The name Kaspen is composed of two elements: 'kass', meaning 'cup' or 'jar', and 'per', meaning 'to travel'. Thus, it can be interpreted as "traveler with a cup" or "one who journeys with a vessel". In some instances, the name may also be associated with the Aramaic name 'Kaspar', which means "treasurer". Kaspen is relatively rare, even in Scandinavian countries, and thus bears a unique charm. It has not traditionally been used outside of Scandinavia but could potentially make an interesting choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their child.
The name Kaspen seems to have had variable popularity over the past eight years, with a notable peak in 2021 when it was given to 19 babies. The total number of births with this name since 2016 is 85.
