Maximin Origin and Meaning

The name Maximin is a boy's name.

Maximin is a masculine name with Latin origins, derived from the Roman name Maximinus, which is a diminutive form of Maximus, meaning "greatest." Historically, it was borne by several Roman emperors and early Christian saints, including Saint Maximin of Trier. The name has maintained modest usage in France and other European countries with Roman heritage. Maximin combines the strength associated with the popular name Max with a distinctive classical ending, giving it both familiarity and uniqueness. While never achieving widespread popularity, the name carries connotations of greatness and achievement in a more refined package than its more common relatives Maximus or Maximilian.
