Meaning & Origin

a male given name from Latin, equivalent to English Maximilian

Maksymilian is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, the Polish form of Maximilian, from the Latin Maximilianus, from maximus (greatest), meaning 'the greatest' — the distinctly Polish form of one of history's most imperial names.

With over 468 recorded births, Maksymilian is used in Polish communities as the standard Polish form of Maximilian. The most saintly Polish bearer is Maximilian Kolbe (1894–1941), the Franciscan friar who volunteered to die in place of a stranger at Auschwitz-Birkenau — his act of sacrificial love for a man he did not know made him one of the 20th century's most celebrated martyrs, canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1982. A name of Polish Catholic heroism and supreme sacrifice.
