| Name origin | Wikipedia states that Aprilia was named after the pre-war Lancia Aprilia, a car. The company was founded by Cavaliere Alberto Beggio in Noale, near Venice, so the name is not a family surname. | Cagiva is a portmanteau of Castiglioni Giovanni Varese: the surname and first name of founder Giovanni Castiglioni combined with the city of Varese, where the company was founded in 1950. |
