April

fourth month, c. 1300, aueril, from Old French avril (11c.), from Latin (mensis) Aprilis, second month of the ancient Roman calendar, from a stem of uncertain origin and meaning, with month-name suffix -ilis as in Quintilis, Sextilis (the old names of July and August).

One prevalent theory traces April Fools’ Day to the 16th-century calendar reforms in France. Prior to 1582, the Julian calendar was in use, with the new year commencing around the end of March. With the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, New Year’s Day shifted to January 1st. However, news of this change traveled slowly, and some individuals continued to celebrate the new year in late March or early April. These traditionalists were mocked and labeled “April fools,” giving rise to the custom of playing pranks on this day.

Literary References​

Some scholars suggest that literary works hint at the early observance of April Fools’ Day. For instance, Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales,” written in 1392, contains a passage in “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale” that some interpret as a reference to April 1st. In this tale, the vain rooster Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox, with the timing described as “Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two,” potentially indicating April 1st. However, interpretations vary, and some believe this to be a misreading or scribal error.

1680s; see April + fool (n.). April-gowk (from Old Norse gaukr "a cuckoo") is a northern variant. April Fool's Day customs of sending people on false errands seem to have come to England from France late 17c.; originally All Fool's Day (1712). In Cumberland, Westmorland and northern parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, May 1 was the day for hoaxing, and the fool was a May gosling. That custom is attested by 1791.
