What does Casper mean?
/ˈkæspɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: Old Persian

Casper is an English form of an Old Persian name traditionally translated as "treasurer" or "keeper of the treasure." It's also one of the traditional names given to the Three Wise Men in Western folklore.

Thanks to a certain friendly cartoon ghost, Casper carries a light, gentle charm that suits an all-white or pale-coated pet especially well. It works nicely for a companion with a sweet, easygoing temperament.
