Origin and meaning of Martino
Martino comes from the Latin Martinus, 'dedicated to Mars', the god of war, and so suggests strength and protection. The name owes its remarkable spread to Saint Martin of Tours, the soldier who shared his cloak with a beggar — one of Europe's best-loved figures. It appears across the continent in many forms, from Martin to Márton, and in Italy keeps a warm, popular character rich in history.
