"Caspar" is from Old Medean *ganzabarah: "treasurer", which was borrowed into Achamenid Persian, with descendants such as Persian گنجور <ganjur>, Akkadian 𒃶𒍝𒁀𒊒 <gan-za-ba-ru>, Aramaic 𐡂𐡍𐡆𐡁𐡓 <gnzbr>.

That's so far back in the past that we're likely all descendants of Cyrus but identifying the prime Achamenid heir would be next to impossible unless one of them eventually intermarried with European Nobility especially with the Roman Emperors or Frankish Monarchs.
