Guistino
Guistino Origin and Meaning
Guistino is a masculine name of Italian origin, serving as a variant of Justin or Giustino. Derived from the Latin name Justinus, which comes from "justus" meaning "just" or "righteous," this name carries connotations of fairness and integrity. While uncommon even in Italy, Guistino has a distinctly Italian flair with its characteristic "Gui-" beginning and "-ino" diminutive suffix. The name has historical connections to several early Christian saints and martyrs named Justinus, giving it religious significance in Catholic traditions. Its rich vowel sounds and flowing syllables give it a melodic quality typical of Italian naming traditions. For families with Italian heritage, Guistino offers a way to honor cultural roots with a distinctive yet historically grounded choice.
