My little four-year-old grand-nephew was named Tino after his father, Valentino. I really wished he was named Valentino, too. I think Tino is too flimsy for a birth name. Unfortunately, I had no say in the matter.
Sometimes used for Constantine by people of Greek descent. (My uncle and I were among them, though I have long used only my full name except with my family and anyone I meet through them.)
Tino di Camaino (c. 1280 – c. 1337) was an Italian sculptor.

Hehe if you watch The Weekenders, then you know this is the name of the blond, sarcastic comedian Tino Tonitini, voiced by Jason Mardsen. Best show ever. Now whenever I hear this name, I think of a guy who makes people laugh. Plus I think it's kind of a cute pet name for an Italian friend or something (if they don't mind it).
