Meaning & Origin
a male given name
Massimo is a boy's baby name of Italian origin, the Italian form of Maximus, from the Latin maximus meaning "greatest" or "the largest." It was a common name in ancient Rome and has remained a staple of Italian naming tradition for centuries.
Massimo carries an effortless Italian glamour — the kind of name that sounds both powerful and melodic. It has been growing in the United States as parents discover Italian names beyond the familiar Marco and Luca, drawn by its strong meaning and the warmth of its double-M sound.
