The name is derived from the Latin 'aprilis', either from the Latin word 'aperire' which means 'to open', probably a reference to growing plants in spring, or from the Etruscan name 'Apru' for 'Aphrodite'. In the Roman calendar, April was the second month but following Julius Caesar's reform, it became the fourth month.
