Primo Nebiolo (14 July 1923, Turin – 7 November 1999, Rome) was an Italian sports official, best known as president of the worldwide athletics federation International Association of Athletics Federations.
Primo means cousin in Portuguese. It's not a name, at least it's not used at all in Portugal. [noted -ed]

Primo is the Italian (and Spanish) form derived from the Latin nickname Primus. In antiquity was used to name the first-born. Known to mean, "First; First Of A Series; First Among Many."
It is common in Italian families, especially in the boom of births that followed WWII and/or in large families with many children, to name the children for the order in which they are born. So the first child/son would be named "Primo" (first),"Secondo" for the second, "Terzo" for the third, "Quarto" for the fourth, "Quinto" for the fifth, etc.FYI, the word in Italian for cousin is "cugino/a" and not "Primo/a" as in Spanish!
1. It means "cousin" in Spanish. 2. It also can be used as an insult to call someone that. "Dunderhead" or something.
