Why is it 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.
