What god is the month may named after?

The Greek goddess, Maia. There was also a Roman Maia. She was paired with Vulcan (the god of fire and blacksmiths) as his female attribute in the earliest Roman cults. She was intertwined with other Roman goddesses: Bona Dea (the Good Goddess), Ops (Plenty, a fertility goddess) Juno (the procetress of the state and of women) and Magna Mater (the Great Mother). On the first day of Maius (May) the priests of Vulcan sacrificed a pregnant sow to Maia. This reproduced the link between Maia and Vulcan in archaic cult. As a result of Greek influence, the Roman Maia was linked to the Greek Maia.
