Kas

/KAHS/


“Possibly treasurer, or distributor”

Kas has two independent origins. In the Netherlands it is a short form of Cas, itself a short form of Casper, the Dutch and Scandinavian form of Jasper; Jasper is traditionally traced to a Hebrew word for 'treasurer', from Old Persian, though the origin is not certain. In Albania, Kas is a short form of Kasem, from Arabic qāsim, meaning 'one who distributes'.

How it ages.

A crisp, minimalist short form that reads modern rather than vintage; works well as a stand-alone name today.

The cultural moment.

Rare; used as a short form of Casper in Dutch-speaking families and of Kasem in Albanian-speaking families.
