Vitorino is a common given name of Portuguese and Spanish origin. It is derived from the Latin name Victorinus, which in turn comes from Victor, meaning "conqueror." The name has historical significance, notably associated with Saint Victorinus, a Roman Christian martyr.

In Portugal, Vitorino is a traditional given name, often appearing in family histories and records. It is also a surname in both Portugal and Brazil, likely originating from a patronymic form indicating descent from an ancestor named Vitorino.
