Meaning & Story
Maximillion is an elaborate, ornate variant spelling of Maximilian, a Latin name derived from 'Maximus' meaning 'greatest' combined with the Germanic name Aemilianus. It was borne by Holy Roman Emperors and Habsburg rulers, giving it an air of imperial grandeur. The double-l spelling adds extra visual flair to an already magnificent name.
Maximillion is not a name you give a pet unless you are prepared to live up to the grandeur it implies. This is the name for a companion who has already decided he is the most important creature in the household and simply requires the paperwork to confirm it. Maximillion works magnificently for a large, majestic breed — or, in a delightful twist, for a tiny dog who operates under the firm conviction that he is enormous. Regal, theatrical, and utterly unforgettable.
