For example, Jasper is a Persian-origin name hip American parents are choosing for their little guys. As a variation of the Persian name Casper, it means ‘treasure bringer;’ conversely, it could come from the Persian word ‘yashp’ which means ‘spotted stone.’ A variation on Jasper is Cash, also popular; Darius (‘protector, possessor of good’) is another top pick.
