What does Jasper mean?
/ˈd͡ʒæspɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: Old Persian

Jasper refers to a spotted or striped semi-precious stone, prized since antiquity for jewelry and carving. The word traces back through Old French and Latin to an Old Persian root, reflecting the long history of the gem trade across Persia and the ancient Near East.

Jasper has an earthy, grounded feel, a name that suits a companion with a steady, easygoing temperament and maybe a coat marked with a bit of natural pattern.
