Meaning: Mack's stream
Maxwell is a habitual boy's name of primarily Scottish origin that means "Mack's spring." Dating back to 1144, Maxwell's roots lie in a small pool near the River Tweed called Maccus Well, which was once home to Clan Maxwell. A distinguished lowland family, they served as Wardens of the West March and bore the motto "I flourish again"—an inspiring message young Maxwell can feel entitled to embrace.
