Kuprai Amazai is a village in the N.W.F.P. province of Pakistan.Kuprai The village was founded by migrants from Amanzi (near Mardan) and it got its name from its proximity to a large stone which looked like human skull.^{[citation needed]}. In Pushto, a human skull is called a Kooprai which was corruped to Kupri over the years.

The residents of Kuprai Amazai belong to a Pathans tribe called Yousufzai. The population is approximately 2500 and the predominant occupations are agriculture related.

There are two mosques (Sunni Islam) and a Hujra in Kupri. The Upper Mosque is in the upper part of the village and the Lower Mosque in the lower. There is also a High School and three Primary Schools.

I think this is wrong. In Pushto language the skull is called "Kaparay" not Kupri or Kopri. Yes in Urdu it is called Kupri. In Pushto language Kupri is using for bottle made from Blader of animal and using for keeping Oil. Any how Kupri is a beautiful village of Amazai Tribe, all the people are brave Pakhtoons.
