Maximos is a boy’s name of Greek and Latin origin. It is the Greek form of the Latin word maximus, which means “greatest.” Several famous people have carried this ancient name throughout history, including the Roman emperor Magnus Maximus. Magnus Maximus rose to the top from humble origins in Spain. After winning campaigns in Britain, his British troops proclaimed him emperor, and together, they overthrew the emperor Gratian. Magnus Maximus ruled from 383 to 388 AD. With its unique spelling, the name Maximos could honor any Greek roots and can easily be shortened to the timeless Max. When it comes to cuteness, baby Maximos will surely be the GOAT.
