Nino (name)
Nino is considered to be an Italian masculine name that is in use throughout Italy as a diminutive form of several names such as Antonino, Giannino, Saturnino, Severino and all names ending in "-nino" as well as names such as Gaetano and Giovanni. It is used in other Mediterranean countries, e.g. Spain and Greece, as well as in nations where these countries have linguistic relations e.g. Latin-America.
Nino is considered to be a Georgian name of Assyrian origin that is a popular feminine name in Georgia with possible relation to the story of the husband of Semiramis, founder of the city of Nineveh. It was popularized due to the 4th century A.D. conversion of Georgia to Christianity by a Roman woman, Saint Nino, a relative of St. George, who came from Constantinople. In Slavic languages, the name is often written as Nina, a name that has multiple meanings.
