Meaning & origin

Maxcine is a rare feminine name that appeared in U.S. birth records as early as 1915. Its peak year was 1940, but it never achieved widespread popularity. The name was first recorded in 1915, and its trajectory has remained stable with only occasional use. While it never ranked in the top 1000, it carries a vintage charm reminiscent of mid-century naming trends. The spelling with a 'c' distinguishes it from the more common Maxine. With no top states on record, its usage has been scattered across the country. This name offers a unique alternative for those drawn to 'Max' names for girls.

Maxcine is a rare feminine elaboration of Max, itself a short form of Maximilian or Maxwell. It emerged in the early 20th century, following the pattern of names like Maxine. The suffix '-cine' likely imitates the sound of other feminine names. It saw modest use in the 1940s but remains uncommon.
