The word "aspen" is from Proto-Germanic, and ultimately from Latin. Proto-Germanic is the "hypothetical prehistoric ancestor of all Germanic languages, including English." Quoted from the first related link below. Please see the second link below for the etymology (word origin).

The word "aspen" comes from Old English "æsp," which is derived from Proto-Germanic "aspo" and Proto-Indo-European "h₂éspōs," all referring to the aspen tree.
