Maxx

Where Maxx comes from

Maxx hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1980
    First appearance
    #4,495 among boys, 8 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1994
    Maxx Williams born
    American football player
  3. 1997
    Maxx Crosby born
    American football player
  4. 2010
    Peak, #953
    210 babies named Maxx — more than any year before or since.
  5. 2019
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,658.
