What does Maxi mean?
2 syllables

Maxi most often functions as a pet form of Max or Maximilian, names that trace back to the Latin maximus, meaning 'greatest.' Separately, the word 'maxi' entered English in the 20th century as a fashion term for a floor-length skirt, dress, or coat, cut long in contrast to a mini.

Playful and a little larger-than-life, Maxi works well as a nickname-style name for a pet with a big personality -- one that seems to think it's the greatest in the room, whatever its actual size.
