Capriana, pronounced kuh-pree-AH-nuh (/kəˈpriːˌɑnə/), is a feminine name of Italian origin, tracing its roots to the mountain village of Capriana in the Trentino region. The place-name itself derives from the Latin capra, or “goat,” evoking subtle pastoral overtones and an understated sense of resilience. In the United States, Capriana first entered the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 in 1999 at rank 886 and has since held a steady, uncommon presence—annual births have ranged from five to eleven and its ranking has hovered in the low-to-mid 900s. In 2024, seven newborn girls received the name, placing it at 943, a pattern that underscores its appeal to parents seeking a Mediterranean-flavored choice with both uniqueness and approachable phonetics.
