Meaning & History
Celino is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name with two possible derivations. It can be considered a direct form of the Ancient Roman cognomen Caelinus, which itself is derived from the Roman family name Caelius. The root element, Caelius, comes from Latin caelum meaning "heaven." Alternatively, Celino may function as a short form of Marcelino, the Spanish and Portuguese diminutive of Marcellus.
As a name traceable to Roman times, Celino shares a lineage with prominent Roman clans. The feminine forms of its related names include Marcellina (Italian) and Marcelina (Spanish). Variants in other languages include the Ancient Roman Caelinus, Marcellinus, as well as French Marcelin and Marcellin, and Portuguese Marcelino.
