In the namesakes Mai should have an Avatar: The last Airbender namesake under fictional characters.
Mai also means "May" in German.
Mai also means May.
Mai is also a Chinese name. One of the symbols for it is èÈ or http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3/Mercurial_2006/mai.gif. With this meaning, it means "windblown dust falling like rain". It is a very rare name but I am fortunate enough to have a best friend named as such.
There is a mistake. I am Vietnamese and from what I've learned in Vietnam since birth, Mai is a gorgeous yellow/golden flower used on Chinese New Year along with the real cherry blossom tree that is known as Dau in Vietnamese. Cherry blossoms don't come in the color of yellow or gold. Mai has a large difference between Dau. But they are both Chinese New Years' special trees. Please don't mix them up! I know this because my last name is Mai! [noted -ed]
"Mai" is cherry blossom, a specific flower rather than just "flower". [noted -ed]
"Mai" is also a common female name in Estonia since Christianization in the 13th century. The same female name appears in Norway and Sweden, but not so much any more. "Mai" refers also to the 5th month of the year in Scandinavian, Germanic langauges and in the Estonian language.
