Mazino is a Niger Delta name, chiefly from the Urhobo and Isoko languages of southern Nigeria. It functions both as an independent given name and as a clipped form of longer theophoric compounds such as Oghenemazino. In these languages, Oghene means “God,” while the -mazino/-zino element conveys “to know” or “knowledge,” giving the widely accepted meaning “God knows” or “known by God.” The name often expresses trust in divine insight when outcomes are uncertain, and it is commonly used for any gender.

Use is strong in Urhobo- and Isoko-speaking communities and has spread across Nigeria and the diaspora since the late 20th century, where its concise, modern sound appeals beyond its home region. Variants and related forms include the full Oghenemazino and the short nickname Zino. Pronunciation is typically mah-ZEE-no. Not to be confused with the Arabic name Mazin, which has a separate etymology.
