The Order of May was created as an Order of Merit by Decree No. 8506/46, 1946. In 1957, the rules of the order were modified and the Order of Merit was renamed the Order of May by Decree No. 16,629. The order was further divided into the categories of Merit, of Military Merit, of Naval Merit, and of Aeronautical Merit.
In 1958, the regulation was further amended and the Collar of (Civil) Merit category (the highest in the order at that time) was abolished, and it is currently only a military honour.
