MEANING & HISTORY
What does Martino mean?
Martino is the Italian form of Martinus. The Roman name was formed from Martis, the genitive of Mars, so its immediate interpretation is relating to Mars.
Its later Christian use includes the Martin name tradition. The ancient deity connection is a historical formation rather than a statement about a modern bearer’s beliefs.
