    The Story Behind Maï

    The name Maï has multiple distinct origins. In Vietnamese, 'Mai' (often transliterated as Maï) means 'plum' or 'apricot blossom', symbolizing beauty, resilience, and new beginnings, especially associated with the Lunar New Year (Tết). It is predominantly a female name in Vietnam. In Japanese, 'Mai' (舞) means 'dance' and is a common female name. Additionally, 'Maï' can be a French diminutive or variant of names like Marie (meaning 'star of the sea' or 'bitter') or a short form of names containing 'Mai', or even a direct reference to the month of May, which is associated with spring and new life. This French usage can be unisex, though often leans female.
