Averil

Meaning of Averil

Averil arrives like a spring breeze—its Old French roots in “avril” channeling the promise of April’s bloom and the Latin aprilis before it. Unisex by nature, this name feels at home on any child, boy or girl, carrying the same whisper of renewal and fresh starts. Pronounced AV-er-il (/ˈævərɪl/), it rolls off the tongue with effortless grace. Though it never hogs the limelight—typically showing up in U.S. birth lists as just half a dozen babies a year and hovering around the 900s—its steady, century-long presence proves its quiet charm. For parents craving something warm, windswept and defiantly under-the-radar, Averil is a perennial pick that’s both familiar and distinct, a subtle nod to nature’s most hopeful season.
