What is the meaning of the name Pino ?

The baby name Pino is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpiːno/ (PEE-no).

Pino is Italian in Origin.

Pino is an Italian masculine name and nickname, most commonly a short form of Giuseppe through diminutives such as Giuseppino and Peppino. As a hypocorism, it ultimately traces back to Hebrew Yosef, “he will add (God).” In Italian it also coincides with the common noun pino, “pine tree,” so when used independently it evokes evergreen strength and longevity.

Used across Italy since the late 19th century and widely among the Italian diaspora, Pino gained visibility through figures like singer-songwriter Pino Daniele and bassist Pino Palladino. Regional forms include Pinu (Sicilian/Sardinian) and Pinuccio; related feminine counterparts are Pina and Giuseppina. Close variants and extensions include Peppino, Giuseppino, and the playful Pinotto, while the full formal anchor remains Giuseppe. Outside Italian, Pino appears occasionally in Spanish-speaking contexts (where pino also means “pine”), but it is chiefly identified with Italian usage.
