About the name Marino
Behind the Name treats Marino as the Italian and Spanish form of Marinus, a Roman cognomen that may come from the family name Marius or from the Latin adjective marinus, 'of the sea'. Wiktionary derives Marinus from marīnus, 'of the sea', a word linked to mare, 'sea', and says that some versions of the name may come from Aramaic marā, 'lord'. The exact origin is, therefore, debated. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 7,199 people named Marino, with a median age of 60.
