About Caprice
Caprice is a word name with an appealing sound and a light-hearted meaning that may well put parents off. While it was given to just 10 girls in a recent year, the name did have a moment back in the late 60s and then again in the 90s. In England and Wales, it even made the Top 400 in 1997.
If you do like the sound of Caprice but not the impulsivity implied in its meaning, you could return to its Italian roots and see it as a form of capriccio. It then becomes a musical name, associated with lively, free form, and often short pieces of music, and an arty name, linked to a style of art or architecture that explores fantasy or blends the real with the imaginary.
Alternatively, you could consider similar sounding options like Cerise, Capri, Clarisse, or Carys.
Caprice is also given to boys.
Pronounced kuh-PREES.
As of October 2026, Caprice ranked #12665 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #3042 in 1973.
