Origin and meaning of Marcellino
Marcellino comes from the Latin Marcellinus, a derivative of Marcellus and therefore a double diminutive of Marcus, the name linked to the god Mars. It means 'little Marco' and keeps the martial echo of its root. Found mainly in Italy and in the Catholic tradition through early saints and a pope, it is now a fairly rare, affectionate name with an old, homely ring, prized by lovers of uncommon classics.
