ArchivesRe: Two Italian names
in reply to a message by lac
In Italian, I believe adding -lino to the end of a name means 'very small/tiny'
E.g. Piccolo is the Italian word for small while piccolino means very small
So adding lino to a name, as far as I understand, is a common Italian diminutive and basically means "little ___" or little Ugo in this case.
