Arsinio is a modern respelling of Arsenio, from Greek Arsenios via Latin Arsenius, meaning "virile, manly, strong." Through the cult of early Christian saints, especially Arsenius the Great (5th century), the name entered Italian and Spanish as Arsenio and later traveled to the Americas. In the U.S., awareness rose in the late 20th century through entertainer Arsenio Hall. The Arsinio form is rare but easily recognized. Usage remains uncommon across English-speaking countries.

Variants include Arsenio (Spanish/Italian), Arsénio or Arsênio (Portuguese), Arseniy/Arseny (Russian), Arsenije (Serbian), Arsène (French), Arsen (various Slavic/Caucasian), and the Greek Arsenios; feminine counterparts are Arsenia and the unrelated yet phonetically similar Arsinoe. Diminutives include Arsen and Slavic Senya. The meaning centers on strength and vigor, making Arsinio a distinctive, contemporary twist with deeply classical roots.
