Welcome to month of May and what does it mean.

May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the third of seven months to have a length of 31 days.

May (in Latin, Maius) was named for the Greek Goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for "elders," and that the following month (June) is named for the iuniores, or "young people".
