Nino is an Italian masculine name, a diminutive of Antonino, Giannino, Saturnino, Severino and names ending in "-nino" as well as of Gaetano and Giovanni. It is also used in Greece, Spain, and the Hispanosphere.

Nino is a Georgian name of Assyrian origin that is a popular feminine name, possibly related to the story of the husband of Semiramis, the founder of the city of Nineveh. It was popularized by the 4th century A.D. conversion of Georgia to Christianity by a Roman woman, Saint Nino, a relative of St. George, who came from Constantinople. In Slavic languages, the name is often written as Nina, a name that has multiple meanings.
