Maximilian

  • [ˈmæksɪmɪljən]

Rhymes with -ɪljən

Where it comes from

From German Maximilian, ultimately of Latin origin.

proper noun Maximillian

  1. 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."
