as a First Name
Russian: from the Latin cognomen Maximus ‘greatest’, later used as a given name. This was the name of a very large number of early saints, including a Byzantine theologian and mystic (c.580–662) who was persecuted under the Emperor Constans. Maxim Gorki was the pseudonym adopted by the Russian writer Alexei Maximovich Peshkov (1868–1936). The name is now also used in the English-speaking world.
