Paulin is Latin in Origin.
Paulin is a French masculine given name and occasional surname, stemming from Latin Paulinus, a derivative of Paulus meaning "small, humble." Through Late Latin and Gallo-Romance, Paulin preserved the sense of modesty attached to the wider Pauline family of names, ultimately related to the Apostle Paul’s name.
The name entered Christian onomastics via notable saints such as Paulinus of Nola (4th-5th c.) and Paulinus of York (7th c.), encouraging use across medieval France and neighboring regions. Today it remains uncommon but recognizable in Francophone countries (France, Belgium, Quebec), and appears sporadically elsewhere as a learned or heritage choice. Close variants and cognates include Paulinus (Latin), Paulino (Spanish/Portuguese), Paolino (Italian), Pauline/Paulina (feminine), and the root forms Paul, Paulo, Paolo, and Pavel. Related short forms may include Paul and, by extension from cognates, Lino or Polo. The core meaning evokes "small" and "humble."
