Thinking about the name
Capers
English origin
“Derived from a place name or occupational origin (one who deals in capers, the culinary ingredient, or the Latin capra, meaning 'goat'), this name has a playful, spirited quality. The name evokes energy, mischief, and fun—literally 'cutting capers' means performing tricks or pranks. It's whimsical and distinctive, appealing to parents seeking an unconventional, spirited name.”
