Tincho is Spanish in Origin.
Tincho is a Rioplatense Spanish hypocoristic formed chiefly from Martín, and by extension sometimes from other names ending in -tín. Its sense follows Martín, from Latin Martinus, ultimately tied to Mars, the Roman god of war: "of Mars", "warlike". The cult of Saint Martin of Tours popularized the root across Europe, and Spanish colonial influence carried it to the Southern Cone, where the affectionate -cho ending flourished.
In Argentina and Uruguay, Tincho is a warm everyday nickname for boys named Martín, and occasionally for Agustín or Valentín; it is seldom used as a standalone given name but does appear in modern registrations. Related forms include Martín/Martin, Martino, and Portuguese Martim; diminutive cousins are Tin and Tino. As a baby name, Tincho feels friendly and informal while preserving the timeless heritage of Martín.
