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.	The company is named after its founder, the industrialist Johann Puch (1862-1914), who started in Graz with bicycles before the firm moved on to engines, motorcycles, mopeds and cars.
