Larnah-May is English in Origin.

Larnah-May is a modern English compound name pairing Larnah with May. Larnah is a recent spelling of Larna/Lorna, the literary name created by R. D. Blackmore for Lorna Doone (1869) from the Scottish place-name Lorne, often linked to Gaelic Loairn; its sense is “of/from Lorne.” May serves as the month name - ultimately connected to the Roman Maia, symbolizing growth - and also a diminutive of Mary or Margaret. Together, Larnah-May blends Scottish toponymic roots with springlike freshness.

Usage is contemporary in the UK and Commonwealth, mirroring the rise of hyphenated first names.
