ArchivesRe: Mai and Nai - male Slovenian names
in reply to a message by ari.
Variants of Maj and Naj, respectively.
Maj, already in the main database: "either a masculine form of Maja 1, or else from the Slovene name for the month of May."
Naj is available as a submitted name, but no etymology is provided. I assume it is a masculine form of Naja, which is a short form of Anastazija, Danaja and names beginning with na, such as Natalija. I don't think it's far-fetched - there's also Taj (and Tai), a masculine form of Taja, both names popular in Slovenia.
