Aprel is English in Origin.
Aprel is a modern variant of the month name April, ultimately from Latin Aprilis. The month’s name is often connected to Latin aperire “to open,” evoking the opening of buds in spring; another theory links it to Etruscan Apru, related to Aphrodite. As a given name, it carries associations of renewal, freshness, and new beginnings. Though primarily feminine, Aprel - like April - can be used unisex.
As a personal name, April emerged in English use in the 19th century and rose sharply in the mid-20th century, peaking in popularity in the 1970s–80s across the United States and the UK, in step with other season and month names. Aprel reflects a creative respelling trend and also echoes the Russian word for the month (Aprel’, Апрель), lending a subtle Slavic flavor. Related forms and variants include April, Apryl, Aprelle, Avril (French), and Abril (Spanish/Portuguese).
