What is the meaning of the name Ketino ?

The baby name Ketino is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /kɛˈtino/ (keh-TEE-no).

Ketino is Georgian in Origin.

Ketino is a Georgian feminine given name (ქეთინო), most commonly an affectionate diminutive of Ketevan (ქეთევან). Ketevan holds a prominent place in Georgian culture and is closely associated with Saint Ketevan, the martyred Queen of Kakheti (d. 1624), which helped sustain the name’s prestige. From the twentieth century onward, Ketino appears in civil records both as a pet form and as an independent given name, used across Georgia and in the Georgian diaspora.

Etymologically, Ketevan is widely linked to Persian Katayoun/Katayun, the name of a queen in the Shahnameh, so Ketino is often felt to carry connotations of nobility rather than a precise dictionary meaning. Variants and related forms include Ketevan (formal), Keti and Keto (short forms), and Ketino (affectionate/independent); Latin-script spellings vary slightly with transliteration conventions. Usage remains concentrated in Georgia, where the Ketevan/Ketino family of names has enjoyed enduring familiarity.
