May was the younger sister of [[Hamfast Gamgee]], and was thus [[Sam Gamgee]]'s aunt. She is not to be confused with her niece, Sam's elder sister, who was also named May. Given the preponderance of flower-names in her family, it seems reasonable to guess that her name came ultimately from the [[Mayflower]], rather than the month of the same name.
