What is the meaning of the name Avelino ?

The baby name Avelino is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /aβeˈlino/ (ah-veh-LEE-no); English approximation: /ævəˈliːno/ (AV-uh-LEE-no).

Avelino is Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Avelino is a masculine given name in Spanish, Portuguese, and Galician, from Latin Avelinus/Avellinus meaning “man from Avellino,” the Campanian town in Italy. The toponym is linked to Latin avellana “hazelnut,” source of the botanical name Corylus avellana, giving the name an added “hazel” association.

Usage spread in Iberia through Catholic devotion to Saint Andrew Avellino (San Andrés Avelino, 1521–1608), so it appears in parish records from the early modern period and persisted in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and the Philippines, peaking in the 19th–20th centuries. Variants and related forms include Italian Avellino; the feminine Avelina (Spanish/Portuguese); and surnominal Avellino. A common short form is Lino. The name remains recognizable but uncommon today; some communities observe a name day on November 10, the saint’s feast.
