Jasper
- Sounds modern but actually an old and distinguished name. Also a fabulous park in Alberta.
- This has to be one of the most underrated names ever, every Jasper I've ever met was a cat. I love this name, partcially because it sounds cool but mainly because it will continue to sound respectable throughout my future son's life.
Jasper Molokai: I like how they they are both places and how a soft and edgy name go together
Although "jasper" is a gemstone, it has no connection to the name Jasper. As a name, Jasper has been found as far back as the Middle Ages, where it was assigned to one of the 3 Magi who visited the baby Jesus in the Bible (the names being Caspar (the Dutch form of Jasper), Melchior, and Balthazar). The name most likely comes from a Persian word meaning "treasurer."
