Caspar

One bearing myrrh

Caspar is a male given name, one of the traditional names assigned to the Three Wise Men who visited the infant Jesus—along with Melchior and Balthasar.

Caspar was always the quiet one in the family.

The friendly ghost Casper popularized the softer spelling in American culture.
