Massimo Origin and Meaning

The name Massimo is a boy's name of Italian origin meaning "the greatest".

Massimo is a Latin charmer and while it might feel like a big name for a baby (or anyone, really), it has a touch of gentleness about it too, owing to the S sounds. A charismatic member of the Maximus/Magnus family, Massimo means "greatest" and has been a enduring favorite in Italy, where it has remained in the Top 100 over the last two decades

Massimo was one of the fastest-rising names of 2023, and a newcomer to the US Top 1000 boy names for the first time ever. It feels in tune with other -o ending names, such as Elio, Matteo, Milo, Aurelio, and Ignacio.
