Origin: Russian

Meaning: greatness

Making the Latin Maximus its own, Maksim stands out as a masculine name for those unafraid to forge their own legacy. A Russian take on a Roman favorite, Maksim possesses an alluring assertiveness in its pronunciation which only invigorates its meaning of "greatness." While Maximus easily conjures images of Russel Crowe's iconic gladiator challenging the crowd, the only entertainment Maksim cares for is the pleasure of their own successes.
