MEANING & HISTORY
What does Catalino mean?
Catalino appears as the Spanish counterpart of masculine Caterí in the official Valencian name vocabulary, alongside feminine Caterina and Catalina. It belongs to the Katherine/Catalina family, whose earliest Greek derivation remains disputed.
The later purity association should not be promoted into a settled root or replaced by an assumed Catalonia derivation.
