Avril is French in Origin.
Avril is the French word and given name for the month of April, borrowed into English as a sleek Francophone alternative to April. It descends from Old French avril and ultimately Latin Aprilis, a month name possibly derived from aperire, "to open," evoking buds and the renewal of spring. As a given name it appears in French use in the 19th century and entered wider Anglophone use in the early 20th century, when calendar names gained fashion.
Usage skews feminine in English and French, though it is occasionally masculine in some regions. Visibility spiked globally through Canadian singer Avril Lavigne. Common cognates and variants include April (English), Abril (Spanish/Portuguese/Catalan), and the rarer spellings Avryl or Avrille; nicknames Av, Avie, and Ril occur. It is often mistaken for Averil/Averill, a separate English name from Old English Eoforhild ("boar-battle").
