Meaning & origin
Aprille is a feminine given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1952. It reached its peak popularity in 1979, but has since declined: the most recent data from 2025 shows no births (one-in-N is not applicable). The name's trajectory over the past decade has been stable, meaning it appears in very small, consistent numbers. Aprille is a variant of April, fitting into a cluster of month-derived names like May, June, and August. Though not currently ranked, it saw modest use during the 1970s and 1980s. The name's appeal lies in its seasonal, nature-inspired feel, and it remains a rare but recognizable choice.
Aprille is a feminine variant of April, ultimately from the Latin 'Aprilis', which may be derived from 'aperire' (to open), referring to the opening of buds and flowers in spring. The name gained use in the mid-20th century as part of a trend for month names, with its peak popularity in 1979.
