Máximo Origin and Meaning

The name Máximo is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

With the ubiquitous Max heard at every playground across the US, international versions have been gaining traction in an attempt to provide a fresh avenue to the highly sought nickname. This Spanish iteration has been in the US Top 1000 since the early 2000s and is currently trending upwards. One of many Spanish baby names with international power, Máximo derives from the Roman family name Maximus, giving it the loft meaning "greatest". With Mateo currently on trend, Máximo might provide an alternative option, still familiar, just outside the US Top 500 as opposed to in the Top 10. Given to around 500 boys in 2023, it is also popular in Chile and Mexico.
