Capryah is in Origin.

Capryah is a modern given name, a stylistic elaboration of Capri/Capria with the fashionable -yah ending. Capri refers to the famed Italian island; its name is thought to derive either from Latin capreae 'goats' or from Greek kapros 'wild boar.' Because of that etymology, Capryah is often interpreted as evoking 'goats' or, more broadly, the island of Capri and its sunlit, coastal associations.

Usage of Capryah is very recent, emerging in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in English-speaking countries, especially the United States, alongside creative -iah/-yah forms like Mariah and Aniyah. It does not appear in older historical records and functions as a contemporary variant rather than a traditional name. Related forms include Capri, Capria, Capriya/Caprya, Capriah/Capriyah, and Caprina. The spelling emphasizes a lyrical, modern look while preserving the breezy, Mediterranean feel of Capri.
