Word Origin & History
April fool
1680s; April-gowk (from O.N. gaukr "a cuckoo") is a northern variant. April Fool's Day customs of sending people on false errands seem to have come to Eng. from France late 17c.; originally All Fool's Day (1712). In Cumberland, Westmorland and northern parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, May
EXPAND 1 was the day for hoaxing, and the fool was a May gosling. That custom was first attested 1791.
