Love the name Maxime for women, charismatic and confident name. In Quebec, Canada Maxime for a girl is more popular though still a unique name. In the dictionary Maxime is feminine derived from Latin and synonym to proverb.

Actually in France, Maxime is also a feminine name (very rare). The spelling is exactly the same, it is just commonly considered a male name (some French people might be surprised to learn it's also feminine).

I have a question for any French (speaking) people who read this (and anybody else's opinion is also welcome). I'm from Holland and a lot of women here bear this name and say that Maxime is female and that the male version is Maxime without the -e, so Maxim. But this site clearly says that Maxime is French and masculine and Maxim is Russian! Could anybody enlighten me about what the correct male French spelling is?

I like this name. I like that it's French, the meaning and just the sound of it. My mother's family has a tradition of French names so I would like to use this for a son one day. I like the nickname Max but only as a nickname because simply Max is way too common where I live. (Holland)
