Maxene

US Popularity Rank: 24315

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Greatest

Maxene, or Max for short, is a feminine name of Latin origin with the sheepish, modest meaning of "greatest." Maxene is the sister of Maxwell, another one of the greatest, and a modern twist on a classic name. Fans of the Netflix global phenomenon Stranger Things will know all about Max, the younger sister of Billy Hargrove, played by Sadie Sink. Max and her family moved to Hawkins, Indiana, in season two before quickly becoming one of the main gang. Baby Maxene will surely grow to thank you for the name and, consequently, the greatest compliment.
