Meaning & origin(measured from records)
Típusa: Helynévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Alapszava, ótörök eredetű kapu szavunk a határvédő gyepűk átjáróihoz kapcsolódott, s azokat a helyeket nevezték el így, ahol átjárást biztosítottak kereskedők, követek, a gyepűelvén (határterület előtt) legeltető pásztorok számára. Ilyen hely sok lehetett a Történelmi Magyarországon, a mellette levő települések megkapták a ’valamivel ellátott’ jelentésű -s képzővel kiegészült Kapus ~ Kapos nevet Baranya, Hunyad, Kolozs, Sáros, Somogy, Tolna, Torda, Ung vármegyében. Ugyanakkor a Dunán túl egy folyó neve lett Kapos a rajta átkelőhelyül szolgáló kapukról, Udvarhelyszék és Csíkszék határán pedig egy-egy hegy neve Kapus. Elsősorban a településnevek ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -i képzős változataiból alakulhattak eredetre, származási helyre utaló családnevek, de szórványosan a folyó- és hegynév is lehetett a családnév alapja. Elterjedtsége: A Kaposi a Dunán túl, a Kapusi a Jászságban, Hajdúságban és Erdélyben gyakoribb.

Where in the world(measured from records)
Kapusi counted together with the spellings and other-language forms grouped with it. Where a register counted another spelling, the row names it.
Sorted by bearers: national registers' counts, and Mondonomo's estimates (≈, est.) where no register counts.
74 people counted by RENAPER — Apellidos (person counts, national). Exact figures are national registers' own counts, while figures marked ≈ and est. are Mondonomo’s estimates, counted from our sources and calibrated against those registers; hover one for how far to trust it in that country. A dash means neither exists.
Registers cited: RENAPER — Apellidos (person counts, national); Familienaam.be — Belgian family-name frequency (population register); MVČR — living population register 2017; dane.gov.pl — PESEL living persons (surnames). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
