Leslie Dunkling and William Gosling, The New American Dictionary of First Names, p.289, dates the popularity of the name 'Maxine' to the late 1930s, prompted by the actress Maxine Elliott. It is widely believed to be a French name, but that is incorrect: It is English and American. In origin, it is simply a feminization of 'Max'. |
