Averil Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Everild (Latin Everildis), the name of a 7th-C Yorkshire saint, is probably a compound of Old English eofor ‘boar', hyld ‘favour'. There is a well- attested cognate Old German Eburhilt (other forms are Eburhild, Eberhild, Eurohildis, Eurildis). Everild was not uncommon in the Middle Ages and was in use as late as the 17th C; it is still occasionally used in Yorkshire. But the usual form of the name is now Averil; Averell appears in 1604 in a Yorkshire list of recusants, side by side with the form Everild.
AVERYL, AVRIL, AVERILL A. ‘Wild-boar battle-maid,’ it has a male companion in Everard, q. v. It is a contraction of Everilda, q. v. Thus we cannot relate it to French avril, April, tempting though such an etymology be.
A Teutonic name, meaning: The fearless. (Anglo-saxon) Ancient name of April.
