About the name Gaspar
Gaspar belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Gaspar first appears in Social Security records in 1911. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1716 in 1930, and in 2024 50 babies received the name — 2,171 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
