Pippino is in Origin.

Pippino is an Italian diminutive formed with -ino from Pippo, the familiar short form of Filippo (Philip). Filippo ultimately derives from Greek Philippos, “horse-lover” or “friend of horses” (phílos + híppos). In everyday Italian, Pippino functions as an affectionate pet name, occasionally recorded as an independent given name, especially in southern regions. The form is sometimes confused with - or regionally influenced by - Peppino, the parallel diminutive of Giuseppe (Joseph).

Variants and cognates include Filippo, Pippo, and feminine Pippa in Italian; Philip, Phillip, and Pippin in English; Philippe and the medieval royal Pepin in French; Felipe (Spanish), Filipe (Portuguese), and Filip (Slavic and Scandinavian). Diminutive counterparts: Pip, Pippo, Pipo. Historical echoes of the Philip-name family range from Philip II of Macedon to numerous Christian saints; the Pepin/Pippin line belongs to the Frankish rulers and is etymologically separate, despite the similar sound.
