Capria is Italian in Origin.

Capria is a rare feminine name with Italian and Latin roots. It likely stems either from the Italian surname Capria or from Capri, the island whose name comes from Latin Capreae, “of the goats,” related to capra/caprea, “goat.” The meaning thus ranges from “goat; goat-like” to the figurative “sure‑footed.”

As a given name, Capria surfaces mainly in late‑20th‑ and 21st‑century use, especially in the United States, fitting trends for Italianate and place-derived choices. It remains uncommon, sometimes favored by Italian‑diaspora families or as a softer alternative to Capri. Variants and elaborations include Capri, Capriana, Caprina, and the modern spelling Capriah; short forms such as Capri or Ria occur. Related surnames such as La Capria attest to its southern Italian heritage, while the given name carries a contemporary, Mediterranean polish.
