Severino
Severino Origin and Meaning
Severino is a masculine name with Latin origins, derived from the Roman family name Severus, meaning 'stern,' 'serious,' or 'severe.' It functions as a diminutive or elaborated form of Severo. Particularly common in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking countries, Severino carries a dignified, classical quality while the -ino suffix adds a touch of warmth to its otherwise serious etymology. The name has maintained moderate popularity in Southern European and Latin American regions, though it has never been widely used in English-speaking countries.
