Maxwell
Electromagnetic theory pioneer
Maxwell is a Scottish surname that became a given name.
As a physics term, a maxwell is a unit of magnetic flux in the CGS system, named after physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
The name appears in various compounds: Maxwell House (coffee), Maxwell's equations (electromagnetic theory).
Their son Maxwell just started kindergarten.
