The Month of May
Fifth Month
五月 is the month of May in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
This was originally the fifth month of the Chinese lunar year, now used for the fifth month of the Gregorian calendar (also known as the Western or Christian calendar). 五月 literally means “fifth month” or “fifth moon.”
Note: Sometimes Japanese parents will use this as a female given name, and use "Mei" (the sound of May in English) as the pronunciation.
Samidare
This is the Japanese name Samidare.
The meaning of the name is “early-summer rain.” Literally, it's “5th moon rain,” which means “rain in the month of May.” This may refer to an anime character, a Japanese battleship in WWII, or a place in Japan called Samidare.
