Meanings
alternative modern rare Maximillian
- A male given name from Latin, rare in English.
It is as well certainly not to call a parcel of idle and ragged young rogues by the titles of Augustus, Orlando, and Theodore: nor does it sound very fitting and heroical to hear a father cry out pompously to his little boy, as we did once, - "You, Sir, there, - Maximilian,- come out of the gutter."
1820 February 9, Leigh Hunt, “Names”, in The Indicator, number XVIII
