Kaprisha is of American origin, derived from African American Vernacular English. It is believed to be a creative variation of the name Caprice, meaning "whim" or "sudden change". The name Kaprisha gained some popularity in the United States during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon. It does not appear to have any specific cultural significance beyond its unique sound and spelling. As with many names of African American Vernacular English origin, it is often associated with a strong sense of personal identity and self-expression.
Kaprisha had a notable spike in popularity between 1993 and 1995, with the peak year being 1995 when it saw ten births. The name's overall usage was quite low, however, with only thirty-eight babies named Kaprisha from 1987 to 1995 inclusive.
