History:

Kapats spread was a mix of people choosing to move and being forced to move. Maybe better jobs or a desire for adventure led some to relocate, starting new family branches and expanding the names reach. Imagine families drawn to growing cities or rich farmland, seeking a better life. Over time, these individual moves added up, spreading this surname far and wide.

Sadly, forced movements also played a part. Wars, political chaos, or even natural disasters could scatter families and spread this surname across huge distances. The descendants of those forced to move carried this surname to new homes, where it grew alongside their new communities.

Description:

However, we can guess at some possibilities. It might show up as Kapát (with an accent mark) because of how its said in different places. Or it could be Kapet, a small spelling change maybe from how it sounded when written down over time. It might also be shortened to Kapt.
