Mayo is a gender-neutral name with meanings just as bountiful as baby’s possibilities.

Parents who take pride in their Irish roots may be inspired by Mayo, a charming county in the west of Ireland known for its beautiful sights, ancient architecture, and bustling town life, which offers up the meaning “plain of the yew trees.” No matter where Mayo takes your tiny tot, may it forever remind them that home is where your heart is.
