Hasperus Origin and Meaning

The name Hasperus is a boy's name.

Hasperus is a masculine name with ancient Greek origins, likely derived from Hesperus (Ἕσπερος), the personification of the evening star in Greek mythology. The name literally means 'evening' or 'western,' as Hesperus was the evening star that appeared in the west. This rare classical name carries mythological weight and astronomical significance. Hesperus was later identified with the planet Venus when visible in the evening. The spelling variation with 'a' instead of 'e' is uncommon but gives the name a distinctive quality. Hasperus remains extremely rare in modern usage, appealing primarily to parents with an interest in Greek mythology or astronomical names with deep historical significance.
