Capriah is in Origin.

Capriah is a modern feminine name that draws on Italian and Latin roots. It appears to fuse Capri/Capria with the melodic -ah ending, evoking the famed island of Capri and the Latin Capreae, often glossed as “of the goats,” from capra, “she-goat.” As such, the name carries senses of “from Capri,” “goat,” and by extension rugged coastal beauty and vitality. Capriah also echoes the Italian surname Capria, found especially in the south, further anchoring it to Mediterranean heritage.

Usage is very recent and largely English-speaking, with the name emerging in the late 20th and early 21st century alongside Capri and other place-inspired choices; it has no established saintly or royal track record. Variants and related forms include Capria, Capri, Caprina, Caprice, and the French-styled Caprienne; creative spellings such as Kapriah, Capriyah, and Capriya occur. Nicknames include Capri, Cappi, Ria, or Riah. Pronunciations vary by region, commonly KAP-ree-uh or kuh-PREE-uh.
