Kaspeli

Kaspeli is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a surname of Eastern European origin and a genus of plants.

As a surname, Kaspeli is most commonly found in countries with historical ties to Eastern Europe, such as Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. Its etymology is believed to be derived from the given name Kaspar, which itself has Persian origins and means "treasurer" or "one who can count money." The surname likely originated as a patronymic, indicating descent from someone named Kaspar. Like many surnames, its spelling and pronunciation may vary slightly across different regions and languages.

In botany, Kaspeli refers to a genus of flowering plants within the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. These plants are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions. Species within the Kaspeli genus are characterized by their small, often composite flower heads, which may be white, yellow, or pink. They are generally low-growing and adapted to survive with limited water. While not widely cultivated, some species might be found in botanical gardens or as curiosities in arid plant collections. The exact taxonomic classification and number of species within the Kaspeli genus can sometimes be subject to revision by botanists.
