MEANING & HISTORY
What does Justiniano mean?
Justiniano continues Latin Justinianus, a derivative of Justinus, which in turn comes from Justus, just or upright. The successive endings mark personal-name relationships rather than separate moral qualities.
Emperor Justinian is a prominent historical bearer of the related Latin form. Justiniano therefore belongs to a specific Justus-name chain rather than being simply a longer spelling of Justin with no history.
