Abril
GirlThe month of spring.
Latin · Spanish
Alma
Meaning
Means "soul" in Spanish, and "nourishing" in Latin.
Origin and History
- · From Latin almus, "nourishing, life-giving" — the same root as "alma mater". In Spanish it also coincides with the word alma, "soul".
- · That double reading (the Latin root and the Spanish word) is rare: few names are also, literally, an everyday word of the language.
Traits and personality
Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials A, J and S map to the number 1: an independent, self-sufficient personality with a natural leader's instinct — goal-driven, more inclined to blaze a trail than follow one. These are traditional readings, not a rule: everyone ends up becoming who they choose to be, whatever name they carry.
