Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Miksa je maďarské mužské meno, ktoré sa vykladá dvojako. Podľa staršieho výkladu sa osamostatnilo z domáckej podoby mena Miklós, slovenského Mikuláš, pochádzajúceho z gréckeho Nikolaos (niké – víťazstvo, laos – ľud). V 19. storočí sa zároveň ustálilo ako maďarský ekvivalent mena Maximilián, ktoré má latinský pôvod.
