MEANING & HISTORY
What does Angelino mean?
Angelino is a diminutive of Italian Angelo or Spanish Ángel. Those names belong to Latin Angelus and Greek angelos, messenger.
The familiar ending adapts a personal name rather than making a universal theological statement that a child is an angel. Tagalog records a Spanish-associated given-name use separately.
