Rinos is in Origin.

Rinos is a Greek masculine given name, especially seen in Cyprus, functioning as a clipped form of names ending in -rinos, most frequently Marinos. Marinos comes from Latin Marinus, meaning “of the sea; maritime,” so Rinos often carries that seafaring sense. In other cases it can contract Severinos (from Severinus < Severus, “serious; steadfast”) or Quirinos (from Quirinus, the Roman civic god), letting the short form inherit the root meaning. Used independently since the mid-20th century in Greek-speaking communities, Rinos parallels Italian Rino, the well-known nickname for Marino, Severino, and Quirino. Related variants and forms include Rino, Marinos/Marino, Severinos/Severino, and Quirinos/Quirino; feminine counterparts are Rina, Marina, Severina, and Quirina. In transliteration you may also see Rínos; Rhinos is a classicizing spelling rarely used in naming because of its zoological echo. The name feels brisk and Mediterranean, with Christian resonance via saints Marinus and Severinus.
