Sorry Natalie to insist, but this is absolutely true.
I live in Paris since 1989 and I can assure you this makes sense in French
language.
"Mayday" is definitely the Americanized spelling of "m'aidez" or
"m'aider".
(French for "help me!").
I am sure that a quick Google will confirm this.

Bonne Journée!

Its short for m'aidez vous? Will you help me?
