paini

Paini is a proper noun most commonly encountered as an Italian surname. The name belongs to a broader group of Italian surnames formed with the diminutive suffix -ini, a pattern that can indicate patronymic or locational origins.

The use of Paini as a surname is documented among Italian populations and in immigrant communities around the world, reflecting patterns of migration from Italy in the modern era. It remains relatively uncommon compared with more widespread Italian surnames.

There is no widely recognized municipality or city named Paini today. If geographic uses exist, they are typically as small localities or as part of longer place names, and such instances are not widely documented in standard gazetteers.

In contemporary contexts, Paini is primarily recognized as a surname rather than a common noun or place name.
