Re: Is this the correct latinized form of Maximilien Robespierre?
"Maximilianus" seems valid.Some things jump out at me regarding "Robespierre," however. It appears (to me) to derive from a hyphenated surname, Robes-Pierre.Likely etymology:
  • Robe's < Robert's [son] (which would probably Latinize to Robi)
  • Pierre < Peter (which should Latinize to Petrus)
So, I would surmise it to be "Robipetrus."(I am only a talented amateur when it comes to Latinization, though.)
