Caprice

A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Â© A Dictionary of First Names 2006, originally published by Oxford University Press 2006. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Caprice ♀ From the vocabulary word referring to a whim or something whimsical. The word came into English via French from Italian capriccio, which originally referred to a sensation of horror making the hair stand on end (from Italian capo ‘head’ + riccio ‘hedgehog’); its later meaning derives from association with the stubbornness of the goat (Italian capra).
