Maksim appears in 4 of the published lists Namewise holds. The longest record is England and Wales · Boys, which has ranked it in 24 years beginning in 2001, and has registered 554 births with the name.

Maksim across 4 official records

Each registrar publishes its own list, so these figures are read down a row, never across one. A position in one country is not comparable with a position in another, and Namewise never combines them into a single ranking. The birth counts do not compare across rows either, for a different reason: England and Wales registers roughly thirty times as many births a year as Northern Ireland, so a larger total says which registrar recorded it as much as how widely the name was given.

Maksim by decade in England and Wales · Boys

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade. Bars are scaled on births a year, which is the figure that compares between decades — a decade the list only partly covers has a smaller total without being a quieter decade. Figures belong to this registrar alone and do not carry to another.

Where Maksim is officially recorded

4 official registrars have recorded Maksim, between 2001 and 2025, in 24 of those 25 years. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Registrar	Recorded	Years	Its own highest position
England and Wales	2001–2025	24	#637 in 2013
Republic of Ireland	2006–2025	18	#342 in 2007
Northern Ireland	2008–2010	2	#291 in 2008
Norway	2023–2025	3	#381 in 2024

Its high point came 17 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (2007) than in Norway (2024).

What the record shows

Recorded by 4 registrars between 2001 and 2025, ranked in 24 years of that period.

Its highest recorded position is #291, first reached in 2008.

Its largest count from any one registrar is 53 births, registered in England and Wales in 2013.

Its record falls into 2 separate stretches, with a longest absence of 1 year.

A second registrar first ranked it in 2006, and 22 years separate the first registrar to record it from the last.

Every figure here is counted from the seven official registrars Namewise holds. A position is only ever a place within the list that published it, and a record that thins or stops is a fact about what registrars printed — never about how many children received the name.

Maksim and the names beside it

Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale, in the same year, by the same registrar — so these are positions that genuinely passed each other, not a similarity judgement. Drawn from the 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Maksim without appearing here.
