Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Mayo is masculine because it derives from Latin "Maius (mensis)," where "Maius" is an adjective in the masculine form agreeing with the implied masculine noun "mensis" (month); the masculine gender was preserved when Romance languages evolved from Latin. The month was named after Maia, a goddess in Roman mythology, but the Latin adjective form used for the month name was grammatically masculine.
