Origin
Meaning and history of Maxxis
The name Maxxis is a relatively modern invention, likely derived from the more traditional name Maximus or Maximilian. Its origins can be traced back to the Latin language, where "maximus" meant "greatest" or "largest." This suggests that the name may have originally been bestowed upon someone of great stature or significance.
While the exact origin of the name Maxxis is uncertain, it is possible that it was created as a unique variation of the more common Maximus or Maximilian. The addition of the double "x" could have been a stylistic choice or an attempt to create a more distinctive name.
There are no known historical references to the name Maxxis in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records. This is likely due to its modern creation and lack of deep historical roots.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Maxxis are relatively recent, with the first known instances appearing in the late 20th century. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact first use of the name, as it may have been independently created by different families or individuals.

1. Maxxis Gaudino (born 1996) is an American freestyle skier who has competed in the Winter X Games and won multiple medals.
2. Maxxis Meza (born 1992) is a Mexican-American professional soccer player who has played for clubs in both Mexico and the United States.

FAQ
Maxxis: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Maxxis?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 8 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Maxxis going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 42,844,292 US residents.
Is Maxxis a common name?
We classify Maxxis as "Very Rare". It ranks above 24.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 8 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Maxxis most popular?
The single biggest year for Maxxis was 2015, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Maxxis is about 11 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Maxxis in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Maxxis a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Maxxis in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Maxxis still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Maxxis in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Maxxis can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
