This name is becoming more popular in Argentina. When my baby was born there were 5 babies named Gino just in that hospital in January 2022. I met some adult people with that name and they seem quite happy with it. I know it's a short version of Luigi and Giorgio but I really like it. I learned some time ago that Gino can be a pejorative name to refer to Italo-american people who happen to be on the grayish side of law.

Gino Peruzzi Lucchetti is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right back for the Boca Juniors in the Argentine First Division. Peruzzi started his professional career playing for Vélez Sársfield, making his debut on 27 November 2011, starting in a 1–1 draw with Colón, in the 2011 Apertura. Although he played his first game as a right winger, Peruzzi has since primarily been deployed as a right full back.
Gino is the Italian very usual short form of Luigino which is another pet form of the name Luigi (Lewis); it could be also a short for Giorgino (Georgie). Giacomo is my full name and is the Italian cognate of Jacob and James. Luigi has these nicknames: Gino, Gigi, Gigino, Gigio, Gigietto, Luigino.
This is the name of one of my friends. I never knew exactly where his mum got it, and I don't think it's short for anything (as he's never indicated otherwise). I always figured it was a masculine form of Gina, and I suppose I'm somewhat right. It makes me think of a rather silly, crazy person, but still very likeable (just like my friend).
This is my brother's name and my mom insisted on naming him Gino because she just thought it was a cool name. *shrugs* Can't say I love the name, but it's definitely unique.
