Meaning and background
The story behind Maximo
Maximo resembles Máximo, the accented Spanish and Portuguese name derived from Latin Maximus. Reference works establish that accented form, but removing the mark can obscure the language and pronunciation intended by a particular owner. This is a useful distinction for an English-language dog-name catalogue: its classical connection can be described, while a universal pronunciation or special meaning for the unaccented spelling should not be invented.
- Origin
- Unaccented spelling corresponding to Spanish and Portuguese Máximo, a form of Latin Maximus; intended linguistic convention not determined. Source
