Interesting Title Facts

The name of the month comes from aperire, which translates from Latin to Russian as open. This is due to the fact that in Italy it was in April that spring opened (read - began). But there is another version according to which the name comes from the word apricus, which in translation means warmed by the sun.

April is called huhtikuu in Finnish, which literally translates as “a month of burning trees” (it was at this time that the land was prepared for agricultural work, so trees are often cut and burned). Translated from Czech (duben) - oak, from Belarusian (beautiful) - flowering, from Croatian (travanj) - herbal, from Turkish (Nisan) - the first fruits, from Lithuanian (balandis) - pigeon, from Chinese and Japanese - the fourth month .
