Max

Origine et signification de Max

Max is the short form of Maximilian, Massimiliano or Massimo, from the Latin maximus, 'the greatest.' Born as an affectionate nickname, it has become a name in its own right — lively and cosmopolitan. It is especially loved in Germany, the Netherlands and the English-speaking world, where its directness appeals. Short and punchy, it blends an echo of Latin grandeur with a modern, friendly tone that is easy to say anywhere.
