Maxie is in Origin.
Maxie is an affectionate English diminutive used for several Max‑ names, applied to all genders. It most often shortens Maximilian (from Latin Maximus, “greatest”) and Maxwell (a Scottish surname from Old Norse Maccus + Old English wella, “Maccus’s spring/stream”), and also serves as a pet form or stand‑alone alternative to the feminine Maxine (modeled on French-style -ine formations). As such, Maxie carries either the laudatory sense “greatest” or a toponymic “spring/stream” meaning.
As an independent given name, Maxie surfaces in British and American records by the late 19th century, gaining visibility for girls alongside Maxine in the 1920s–40s, while persisting sporadically for boys via Maxwell and Maximilian. Spelling variants include Maxi, Maxy, Maxey, and Maxxi; related forms are Max, Maxim, Maximus, Maximo, Maxime, Maksim, Massimo, and Maxine. Style notes: breezy, vintage, and unisex, often paired with a formal Max‑ name.
