About May 2025
May's name is usually traced to Maia, a Roman earth and fertility goddess, though — like April's — the etymology isn't fully settled and other theories exist among historians. It was the third month of the earliest Roman calendar, following March and April in that original ten-month sequence. Northern Hemisphere late spring gives way to early summer warmth through May, while the Southern Hemisphere moves from late autumn into winter over the same weeks. The zodiac spans Taurus (until around the 20th) and Gemini (from the 21st), with emerald as the traditional birthstone and the lily of the valley and hawthorn as birth flowers. May has long carried a folk reputation as a favorable month for weddings in parts of Western tradition, an association some historians trace back to the Maia/Juno goddess figures tied to the surrounding months.
The US observes May as both Mental Health Awareness Month, dating to a 1949 designation, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, formalized by Congress in 1992.
