Nino
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Nino: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1999.
Of Italian and Spanish origin, Nino typically began as a nickname for Giovanni or other names, but it also stands alone as a given name meaning "little boy" or "child" in Italian. Its most famous bearer is the beloved Italian composer and conductor Nino Rota, best known for his iconic film scores for The Godfather and La Dolce Vita. The name also appears in Georgia, where it is a traditional female name associated with the fourth-century saint who converted the country to Christianity. While there are no major Scottish place connections, the name has a melodic, international feel that has occasionally appeared in Scottish birth records, offering a short and sweet option for parents seeking something distinctly European.
