Where it comes from

From Middle English apprile, Aprill, re-Latinised from Middle English aueril, from Old French avrill, from Latin Aprīlis (“of the month of the goddess Venus”), perhaps based on Etruscan 𐌀𐌐𐌓𐌖 (apru), from Ancient Greek Ἀφροδίτη (Aphrodítē, “Venus”). Displaced native Old English ēastermōnaþ (“April”, literally “Easter month”), see Eastermonth.

proper noun Aprils · Apr · Apr. · APR · Aprill

The fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, following March and preceding May. Holonyms: calendar year; year
Similar: Eastermonth, Fourth Month
A female given name transferred from the month name [in turn from English]; used since the early 20th century. I'm April Hooper. That sounds silly, the April part, but my mother was English and she always said there was nothing prettier than an English April.
A surname.
