Maxime across 3 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.

Maxime 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 Maxime is officially recorded

3 official registrars have recorded Maxime, between 1971 and 2025, in 31 of those 55 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
Republic of Ireland	1971–2016	5	#304 in 1971
England and Wales	1996–2025	30	#842 in 2001
Scotland	2024	1	#727 in 2024

Its high point came 53 years earlier in Republic of Ireland (1971) than in Scotland (2024).

No registrar recorded it for 24 years after 1971; it appears again in 1996.

Maxime was ranked #304 in Republic of Ireland · Boys in 1971. These are the names immediately either side of it on that published list — a fact about the registrar's own output, not a similarity judgement.

Maxime 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 Maxime without appearing here.

Absence from this list does not mean the name isn't genuinely meaningful or widely used — only that Namewise hasn't sourced and reviewed that content yet. Absence from a specific year or geography above does not prove zero use there either; official statistics only publish names above a minimum threshold.
