Meaning and background
The story behind Maximillian
Maximillian, with a double l before the ending, is an English spelling variant of Maximilian. It shares the older Latin-linked name family rather than possessing a separate etymology. The extra letter may matter on documents but need not alter the familiar English pronunciation. As a dog's registered or full name it sounds expansive and formal, while the affectionate Max offers a sharp contrast in length and is easy to call outdoors.
