Origin and meaning of Massimiliano
Massimiliano comes from the Latin Maximilianus, coined by joining Maximus, 'the greatest', with Aemilianus: a name voicing grandeur and superlative excellence. Made illustrious by Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg and by Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a twentieth-century martyr, it is common in Italy and German-speaking lands, where the form Maximilian is much loved. Its broad, majestic sound makes it a stately classic, often shortened to the fond Max.
