Ezzelino is Italian in Origin.

Ezzelino is a medieval Northern Italian given name rooted in the Germanic onomastic tradition. It represents a Venetian–Lombard form of Azzolino, a diminutive of Azzo/Adso - short forms of names beginning with the element adal “noble” (compare Adalbert, Adelardo). The suffix -lino/-ino adds an affectionate sense, yielding “little Azzo” or “little noble.” Variant spellings include Azzolino, Ecelino, and Ezzelin; related forms are Azzo and Azzone, with feminine Ezzelina and Azzolina.

The name flourished in the 12th–13th centuries in the Veneto and Lombardy, borne by the da Romano lords - Ezzelino I “il Balbo,” Ezzelino II “il Monaco,” and above all Ezzelino III da Romano (1194–1259), the formidable Ghibelline ally of Emperor Frederick II. Dante places him among the violent in the Inferno, cementing a severe literary memory. Today Ezzelino is rare, chosen mainly by Italophiles and history‑minded parents seeking an austere, evocative medieval choice.
