Justino is the Spanish and Portuguese masculine form of Latin Iustinus, derived from iustus, meaning “just, upright, righteous.” The name was borne by several early Christian figures known as Justin/Justinus, most famously Justin Martyr (San Justino Mártir), which anchored its use across the Latin West. It appeared in medieval records in Iberia and Italy, then persisted at modest levels through the colonial period into Latin America and, via Portuguese influence, parts of Africa and Brazil.

Variants and cognates include Justin (English and international), Justus (Latin, German, Scandinavian), Juste (French), Giustino (Italian), and the archaic Iustino; related feminine forms are Justina, Giustina, and Justine. Extended forms such as Justiniano also occur. In Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts, common diminutives are Justi and Tino. Chosen for its clear moral meaning, Justino conveys fairness, integrity, and reliability.
