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, Maximo derives from the Roman family name Maximus, giving it the loft meaning "greatest".
