Agripino is Latin in Origin.

Agripino is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Agrippinus, a derivative of the Roman cognomen Agrippa with the adjectival suffix -inus (“belonging to, descended from”). Agrippa itself is of obscure, probably Etruscan origin; ancient writers offered a folk etymology linking it to births “with difficulty” or feet‑first. Taken together, Agripino can be read as “of the Agrippa line” or, by tradition, as evoking a difficult birth.

The name has late‑antique and Christian currency through several bishops and martyrs, notably Saints Agrippinus of Carthage (3rd century) and Agrippinus of Naples, which helped preserve it in ecclesiastical records. In the Romance world it survives chiefly in Iberia and Latin America, with sporadic modern use (e.g., in Brazil and Mexico). Variants include Italian Agrippino, Latin Agrippinus, and the feminine Agripina/Agrippina; related short forms such as Pino occur in informal use.
