History & Origin

Capria most likely grows out of Capri, the sun-drenched island off Naples that has long stood for glamour and escape. The island's name may trace to the Latin capra, 'goat,' though Capria wears it lightly, as a pretty, evocative place-based choice.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1994. Its appeal is the sophisticated ring of Capri rather than a fixed personal meaning; the -a ending simply softens it into a name.

Did you know? A girl named Capria around its peak in 1994 is now in her thirties, born when place names and airy Italian-flavored sounds were an appealing source for girls' names.
