It's a joke. Max Stirner is a play on Max Stern, meaning big head. He took it as his pen name because his friends made fun of his forehead size.

Yeah, Benjamin Tucker is one of the greatest proponents of Stirner, I suppose he's more well known than Sankt Max himself (in the US, at least)

As in, "maximum forehead"

It's like Homer Simpson and Max Power. Like the rest of the book, it's so obvious, it's sublime.
