Bartolino is Italian in Origin.

Bartolino is an affectionate Italian form of Bartolo/Bartolomeo, ultimately from Latin Bartholomaeus and Aramaic bar-Talmai, “son of Talmai.” The name Talmai is often interpreted as “furrowed” or “abounding in furrows,” a farming image that has come to suggest fruitfulness and steadfast labor in many readings. The -ino ending marks smallness or endearment in Italian, giving Bartolino a warm, old-world tone.

Medieval records show the name across central and northern Italy, and it is memorably borne by Bartolino da Padova, a 14th-century Trecento composer. Though uncommon today, it survives in some regions and in devotional use honoring the apostle St. Bartholomew (24 August). Italian variants include Bartolo and Bartolomeo; cognates are English Bartholomew, Spanish Bartolomé, Portuguese Bartolomeu, French Barthélemy, and Polish Bartłomiej, with Hungarian Bertalan as a related form. Short forms and nicknames include Bart, Barto, and, in Italian style, Tino or Lino; the rare feminine is Bartolina.
