Jacopino

Jacopino is a masculine given name of Italian origin. It is a diminutive form of Jacopo, the Italian version of Jacob, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yaakov. The suffix -ino is a common Italian diminutive, and Jacopino can function as an affectionate or familial form that, over time, appears in records as a formal given name.

Historically, Jacopino appears in Italian archival material dating from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period. In Renaissance Italy, diminutive forms were widely used and could become the name by which individuals were known in official contexts, especially in artistic workshops, clerical circles, and city records. In contemporary times, Jacopino is rare as a given name, and when it occurs it is usually within families carrying the name as a historic or regional given name. It may also appear as a surname in rare cases, reflecting patronymic or family-name practices.

Notable bearers of the name are not widely documented in modern reference works; the name is primarily encountered in historical sources as an example of Italian naming practice rather than as a contemporary public figure. Related names include Jacopo and Giacomo, as well as other regional variants of Jacob.
