Lino Origin and Meaning

The name Lino is a boy's name meaning "flax".

Lino has two separate origins. It can be a diminutive of Italian names like Angelino, Marcelino, and so on — and it is also the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese form of Linus.

With its bright and breezy sound, and easy pronunciation, it's an ideal name to fit into many cultures and languages. We suspect it would be more popular were it not spelled the same as lino (as in linoleum flooring).
