MEANING & HISTORY
What does Marino mean?
Marino is the Italian and Spanish form of Marinus. The researched parent allows two origins: Latin marinus, of the sea, or a formation from the family name Marius.
The direct name relationship is established, while the alternative older routes should remain visible rather than treating sea as the only possible history.
