What does the name Maximilliano mean?
Maximilliano is a spelling of Maximiliano, pronounced the same way, so it shares Maximiliano's meaning and origin.
Maximiliano is the Spanish form of Maximilian. Harrison's surname dictionary describes Maximilian as a made-up blend of two Roman names, Maximus ("greatest") and Aemilianus. The name was used in the Habsburg family from the 15th century, notably by Emperor Maximilian I, and reached the Spanish-speaking world through that dynasty. DMNES records the feminine Maximiliana in a 16th-century Flemish source.
maximus (Latin, “greatest”)Aemilianus (Latin, “Roman name derived from Aemilius”)
How sure is this? Probable. The blend explanation comes from Harrison (1918); the Latin elements themselves are clear.
Related names: Maximilian, Max, Maximo, Maximus.
