No, the word 'may' (lower case m) is an auxiliary verb which expresses possibility or permission.

Examples:

You may like this book.

You may go to the movie with Sam.

The word 'May' (capital M) is a noun, a proper noun, the name of a month or a person.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

Examples: You may like this book. You may go to the movie with Sam.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: You may like this book. (the pronoun 'you' takes the place of the noun/name of the person spoken to)
