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 Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
