Caprey is in Origin.

Caprey (KAY-pree or KAP-ree) is a contemporary given name, likely a creative respelling or blend of Capri and Caprice. Those roots point to Latin capra/caper “goat” and to the Italian island name Capri (from Latin Capreae, often glossed as “island of goats”), while the French/Italian caprice/capriccio adds the sense of “whim” or “sudden fancy.” Taken together, Caprey can evoke “from Capri,” “goat,” and a lively, spontaneous spirit. It reads as modern and unisex, with a breezy, Mediterranean feel.

Documented usage is rare before the late 20th century, and the name remains uncommon, seen mostly in English-speaking countries. Close variants and near-forms include Capri, Capree, Caprie, Capria, and Caprice; related surnames like Capra share the same Latin root. Possible nicknames are Cap, Capi, and Rey. Caprey suits parents seeking an island-cool sound with layered classical etymology.
