According to the online version of Pokorny's etymological dictionary [1], Gr. māk- is not cognate with Latin maximus. There are two distinct roots:
Incidentally, even if mak- and maximus had the same root, the current wording of the article, calling the one a "Latinised derivative" of the other, would be wrong; they'd be parallel inherited congnates, not the one a loan of the other. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Guys you haven't mentioned that the original ethnikon was Μακέτης, Μακετῶν, which survives in the female epigraphically attested Μακέτα and in the Thessalian term Μακετοῦν for "Macedonian". The voicing of /t/ > /d/ was a dialectal feature, like the nearby voicing of /k/>/g/ in Μάγνης containing the same root *mak- and of /p/>/b/ in Περραιβός (< περί-αἶπος). Once the /t/ was voiced into /d/ the interrelation with Μακεδνός was possible, which shares only the root *mak- with Μακέτης. The -εδνός suffix of μακεδνός is a normal adjectival suffix as in πελιδνός = "black" and all the other -δνός Greek adjectives that you can find in LSJ:

Makednos is a Greek word, and is derived from "makos", like "pelidnos" (from pelino):

I am wondering about who the mother of Makedon is according to Marsyas of Pella. He gives the name Αἰθρία (Aithria), but the Wikipedia article itself lists Thyia. It is noted that Αἰθρία (Aithria) may be a corruption of something along the lines of "kai Thyias" but is it possible that this is a different mythological figure? In mythology, Αἴθρα (Aithra) existed and her name means "bright sky" and in ancient Greek αιθρία (aithria) meant "clear sky" and Hesychius tells us of the ancient Macedonian word ἄδραια (adraia) with the same meaning. What is the source that tells us "Αἰθρία" is a corruption for "kai Thyias"? Is there a source for this Αἰθρία existing as a distinct mythological figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.2.64.224 ( talk) 02:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
