- May Meaning
- Derived from the name of the month of May, which derives from Maia, the name of a Roman goddess. May is also another name of the hawthorn flower. It is also used as a diminutive of Mary, Margaret or Mabel. May originates in Latin language and is taken from the name of the 5th month in the year, between April and June. The name of the month was derived from Maia, the Greek goddess of fertility. Some sources also suggest it is used as a diminutive of names such as Mary or Margaret. As a feminine given name it used to be very popular in the United States but lately has declined.
