Though you all know me by the name Deanne, it’s not actually my first name

I started going by my middle name, Deanne when I was 13 because I like it better than my actual first name which is Aprul. My Mom named me after my dad’s birth month. As you can see she wanted to spell it differently as well.

Aprul

The fertile one,” also, “she who opens for fertilization,” based on the Latin aperilis or aprilis, “the opening thing,” in allusion to the month of April, when the earth opens for fertilization. April Name Origin: Latin.
