Ezzelin is Italian in Origin.

Ezzelin is a rare medieval Italian–Germanic given name, best understood as the anglicized form of Ezzelino. Ezzelino itself comes from Azzo/Ezzo, a short form of Germanic names built on the element adal “noble.” With the diminutive suffix -lin/-lino (“little, young”), Ezzelin carries the sense of “little noble one” or “noble scion.”

The name’s footprint is tied to northern Italy, above all the Romano dynasty: Ezzelino III da Romano (1194–1259), a fearsome Ghibelline warlord, fixed it in European memory. Medieval chronicles and Dante’s Inferno preserve the reference, and later English writers sometimes rendered it as Ezzelin or Ecelin. Usage declined after the Middle Ages, though it saw occasional Romantic-era revivals in literature. Variants and related forms include Ezzelino (standard Italian), Ezzolino, Azzolino; short forms Azzo, Ezzo, Adso; and rare feminines Ezzelina or Azzolina.
