Origin and meaning of Faustino
Faustino is a diminutive of Fausto, from the Latin faustus, 'fortunate, auspicious', so it means 'little fortunate one'. The name is tied to Saint Faustinus, a martyr venerated with Giovita as co-patron of Brescia, and it endures in Christian naming. Found chiefly in Italy, Spain and Portugal, it is still chosen in Italian and Hispanic families for its warm tone and hopeful meaning.
