Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Apple, Appel, Appleman, Appelman and others.

First found in during the reign of King Edward III, between 1327 and 1377. The first known bearer of the name was Nicholas Appelman, who was recorded during this period.

An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Aple or a variant listed above:
