Alpinolo is Italian in Origin.

Alpinolo is a rare Italian masculine name stemming from the Latin cognomen Alpinus, “of the Alps, alpine.” In Italian it aligns with Alpino and adopts the affectionate -olo ending found in names like Bartolo and Angiolo, yielding a warm, traditional sound. Medieval Latin sources also record Alpinus as the rendering of Gaelic Ailpein (Alpin), so the name sits at a crossroads between Italic and Gaelic traditions while retaining the geographic meaning of “from the high mountains.”

Usage in Italy has been sporadic, with attestations in northern regions and a modest uptick in the late 19th–early 20th century, when mountain imagery and the Alpini corps resonated culturally. Related forms include Alpino (It.), Alpin (Scots/French), and Alpinus (Lat.); the feminine counterpart is Alpina. Informal short forms such as Pino or Alpi occur. Some calendars associate its name day with saints called Alpin(us).
