Gino

Gino is a masculine given name of Italian origin. It is used in Italy both as an independent name and historically as a diminutive form of longer names, though it has become common as a stand-alone name in its own right.

Notable individuals named Gino include the Italian cyclist Gino Bartali (1914–2000), the chef and television personality Gino D'Acampo (born 1976), the singer-songwriter Gino Paoli (born 1934), the Canadian singer Gino Vannelli (born 1952), the humanitarian surgeon Gino Strada (1948–2021), and the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Gino Sorbillo (born 1961). These figures illustrate the name’s use across sports, music, cuisine, humanitarian work, and the arts.

The name remains common in Italy and among Italian-speaking communities worldwide, and it has appeared in literature, film, and other media as a personal given name.
