Graceful and timeless, the name May is a beautiful choice for a baby girl. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Water', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic (Old) regions, May has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

May, like Mayy, is tied to a figure of classical Arabic love poetry, the beloved of the poet Dhu al-Rummah.
