Calvino is Italian in Origin.
Calvino is an Italian given name and surname formed from Latin calvus, "bald," with the affectionate diminutive -ino, yielding the sense "little bald one." It corresponds to the Romance family of names from Latin Calvinus, the source of English and French Calvin and Portuguese and Italian Calvino; in Galician the cognate surname is Calviño. The root was once descriptive and could allude to shaved heads or monastic tonsure, later becoming hereditary.
As a given name, Calvino is modern and rare, chosen for its suave Italian sound and literary glow from the celebrated writer Italo Calvino. In Protestant contexts the related Calvin gained currency through the reformer John Calvin, reinforcing the wider name cluster. Variants and relatives include Calvin, Kalvin, Calvi, Calvo, Calvino, Calviño, and Latin Calvinus; short forms like Cal work well in English. Meaning centers on "bald," often read today as simplicity or humility.
