Dinos is Greek in Origin.

Dinos (Greek Ντίνος, Dinos) is a modern Greek masculine name, most commonly a short form of Konstantinos/Constantine. Through this connection it carries the meaning “steadfast, constant,” from Latin constans. In Greek it functions as a familiar hypocoristic alongside Kostas, and since the mid-20th century it has often been recorded as an independent given name in Greece and among the Greek diaspora, appearing in arts, sports, and public life.

Variants and related forms include Ntinos (reflecting the Greek spelling), Dino (international/Italian form without the final -s), and the full forms Konstantinos, Constantinos, and Constantine; feminine counterparts derive from Konstantina rather than Dinos. The nickname may also be extended, less commonly, to other longer Greek names ending in -dinos. Not to be confused with Dina or with the ancient Greek common noun dinos (“mixing bowl; whirlpool”), which is unrelated etymologically.
