The reason why Mayflower is called so is that in the past the Mayflower's owner was Guicciardini. Guicciardini was an ancient Italian family in Florence. The symbol of Florence is "Giglio" that is a flower of may.

So Mayflower means Giglio that is the symbol of Florence in Italy.

The Mayflower got its name because it was scheduled to set sail in May, the flower part symbolized hope, and prosperity in the New World.
