Maximiliana

US Popularity Rank: 21475

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Greatest

Maximiliana comes from the Latin word maximus, meaning "greatest," so no pressure there! Baby will want to reach the highest heights and realize their vast potential, and can do so by turning everything up to the maximum. This feminine name is the equivalent to the masculine Maximilian, and both may be shortened to the super cute Max. Although a historic moniker, Max Mayfield helped modernize the name when the character turned up in season two of Stranger Things. Like Max, your little one will be full of confidence and joy as they live their greatest life.
