Thinking about the name
May
English origin
“Named after the spring month of May, which symbolizes renewal, growth, and flowering in the Northern Hemisphere. May carries gentle, botanical connotations and was especially popular in the late Victorian era as a nature-inspired name. It feels both timeless and bright, with a simplicity that modern parents increasingly appreciate.”
