Etymology
Cappy often comes from the simple word cap ('hat') plus the friendly ending -y, so it began as a friendly nickname for someone who wore a cap. A helpful way to remember it is that it can also come from Cap short for 'captain', which is why Cappy can feel like a warm name or title for a person or character.
