Maye / Family History
The names Maye and May in Ireland are derived from the native Gaelic O'Miadhaigh Sept that was located in County Westmeath and is taken from a Gaelic word that translates as 'honourable'. Mea and Mawe are variant spellings. Maye was also introduced into Ulster Province by settlers from England, especially during the seventeenth century.
A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
