MEANING & HISTORY
What does Sisinio mean?
The Italian dictionary account lists Sisinio as an alternative to Sisinnio and traces that name to Late Latin Sisinnius. Porto Editora independently explains Portuguese Sisínio through the same Latin personal name.
The older root is disputed: a university report records a possible connection with Sis in Armenia, while other references leave it unresolved. The Latin name-family history is retained without declaring one of those older proposals a certain literal translation.
