Why is it masculine?

Abril is masculine because it derives from the Latin "aprilis," which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender along with the word itself. The Latin name likely comes from "aperire" (to open), referring to the month when flowers and buds open, but the masculine gender is simply a direct inheritance from Latin rather than a result of any Spanish grammatical rule.
