Delfino is Italian, Spanish in Origin.
Delfino is the Italian and Spanish masculine form of Latin Delphinus “dolphin,” from Greek delphís. The name appears in late antiquity with Saint Delphinus of Bordeaux (4th c.) and survives sporadically in medieval records across Romance Europe. In Italy it saw modest, steady use, with a small 19th–20th‑century revival; in Spanish-speaking contexts it occurs as a given name and, via Italian migration, a surname. As a surname, Delfino is well established in Italy and the Americas.
Meaning relates to the dolphin’s symbolism of agility, guidance, and safe voyage, with mythic echoes of Apollo Delphinios. Feminine counterparts are Delfina (Italian/Spanish) and Delphine (French). Close variants include Delfín (Spanish), Delphin (French/Latin), and the historically linked Dauphin (French title). Possible short forms are Del and Fino.
