Meaning & Origins
From the month (Latin (mensis) aprilis, probably a derivative of aperire ‘to open’, as the month when buds open and flowers appear). It forms part of a series with May and June, all names taken from months associated with the spring, a time of new birth and growth, and may originally have been intended as an English version of the supposedly French name Avril.
