Etymology

The word "April" originates from the Latin Aprilis, likely derived from aperire ("to open"), referencing the opening or blossoming of flowers and trees in spring. Alternatively, some theories link it to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, as April was sacred to her. The name evolved through Old French avril before entering Middle English as April.
