About the name Capri
Capri is derived from the name of the Italian island Capri, in the Bay of Naples, so the name means ‘from the island of Capri’. Capri is known for its stunning landscapes and luxury, with sea caves such as the Blue Grotto and villas built by the Roman emperor Tiberius. The origin of the island’s own name is uncertain, linked either to Latin capreae, ‘goats’, or to a Greek word for wild boar. As a given name for girls it is recent and used mainly in English.
