Massimo

Massimo is a Latin charmer and while it might feel like a big name for a baby (or anyone, really), it has a touch of gentleness about it too, owing to the S sounds. A charismatic member of the Maximus/Magnus family, Massimo means "greatest" and has been a enduring favorite in Italy, where it has remained in the Top 100 over the last two decades

Massimo was one of the fastest-rising names of 2023, and a newcomer to the US Top 1000 boy names for the first time ever. It feels in tune with other -o ending names, such as Elio, Matteo, Milo, Aurelio, and Ignacio.

Other international Max variations include Maxim, Macsen, and Maxence.

Pronounced MAHS-ee-moh.

As of October 2026, Massimo ranked #938 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #843 in 2023.
