I've never heard that term, Mean Absolute Error, used before in this context and it seems like an odd label for an error anywhere but statistics or analytical math. Not saying you're wrong, just seems odd or is new to me.
However, I have heard the name May or Mae quite a few times, whether as a first or middle name. Peter Parker's Aunt May. Or the Southern stereotype Daisy May, among others.
Something else that confuses me about your theories, why would a proud "don't you be callin' me a Negro" Kenyan born African let his son be claimed, so to speak, by the Americans, no matter where his son's bio-mom might be from?
Would he believe that his nationality and citizenship also belongs to his Son, he is Kenyan, so his son is also Kenyan, or does he let the white American woman claim him for her country?
That would seem a bit, you know...colonial to me. How does that work?
Go back to square one, start at the beginning.
“... Mean Absolute Error, used before in this context and it seems like an odd label for an error anywhere but statistics or analytical math.”
Agreed. “Mae” is a name. I think this “mean absolute error” conjecture has run its course.

The kenyan didn't 'allow his son to be claimed, so to speak, by the Americans...' he took that boy, who was born in January 1961 back to Kenya with him. I posted a photograph of the boy with his father, and his stepmother Ruth - who is holding their son Mark.

I tried to answer that, but cancelled the attempt. You apparently are convinced the kenyan student was the father of zero.

That’s zero on the left and little BHO2 on the right, and that’s why Malik said he remembers growing up with him when they were children. In Kenya.
