Meaning and history

Antonino is an Italian and Spanish diminutive form of Antonio. Antonio derives from the Roman family name Antonius, whose original Etruscan or Latin meaning is uncertain; the popular connection with Greek anthos, “flower,” is secondary folk etymology. Saint Anthony of Padua and other saints gave the name family strong Catholic associations. Notable bearers include Italian physicist Antonino Zichichi and Italian footballer Antonino La Gumina.
