Default Maximilian as a forename in Elizabethan England

I have just come across a Maximilian Comynge, baptized 1589 in Bishopsteignton Devon, my 9x great grandfather. Son of and father of a Thomas Comynge, and no others of that name that I can see. According to FMP Devon Baptisms, there are 33 Maximilian's mostly in and around that era.
My question is, where would a name like that come from? I can only see Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, who died in 1579. Was there a person of note in England who may have been the source?
