The name Mayola, a variant of the name 'May', is a female name which means 'born in the month of May'. The name 'May' derives from Maia, the name of a Roman goddess. The name could also refer to hawthorn flower that blossoms in the month of May. The month May is also known as 'Marian Month' for Roman Catholics which is dedicated to Mother Mary. The name is likely of a Latin origin.[1] The name is very rare and unique in present times.[original research?]
