What does Nino mean?
2 syllables

Nino is a common Italian short form of longer names such as Antonino or Giovannino, built from the diminutive suffix -ino, which means "little" or "small." It's used both as a nickname and as a name in its own right.

Nino has a warm, affectionate sound — compact and cheerful, like a name whispered fondly rather than announced. It suits a small or young-at-heart pet with an easy, endearing presence.
