Casper is a unisex given name of Scandinavian origin, derived from the Germanic element 'kaspar,' which means "treasurer" or "keeper of the treasury." It has gained popularity in various parts of the world due to its unique sound and meaning. The name Casper is often associated with the friendly ghost from the popular animated film series by the same name, which may contribute to its appeal among parents seeking a distinctive moniker for their child.
