While "Jane Eyre" features a significant age gap between the main characters, it is not the origin of May-December romances. The term itself actually comes from the association of May (representing youth and springtime) with December (representing older age) to describe relationships with a substantial age difference. Such relationships have been depicted in literature and art long before "Jane Eyre" was published in 1847.
