Andino is a Romance masculine given name and surname with dual roots in Spanish and Italian. In Spanish, andino literally means “Andean,” evoking the Andes mountains and cultures; as a forename it can signify belonging to or honoring that region. In Italian and Spanish naming patterns, Andino also functions as a hypocoristic of Andrea/Andrés - ultimately from Greek Andreas (andreios), “manly, brave.”

Documented primarily as a family name across Iberia and southern Italy since the late medieval period, Andino appears as a rare given name from the 20th century onward, especially in Andean countries and among diaspora families seeking a geographic or heritage-based choice, or a fresh spin on Andrew/Andrea. Diminutives and short forms include Andy/Andi and Dino. Related variants and cognates: Andrés, Andrea (m./f.), Andreu, Andrew, Andriy, Andrei. A feminine counterpart, Andina, is also used in Spanish and Italian.
