Levino

Levino is a surname of Italian origin. It is believed to derive from the given name "Levino," itself originating from the Latin "Levinus." The meaning of "Levinus" is obscure, but it is potentially linked to the Latin word "levis," meaning "light," "smooth," or "graceful." Alternatively, it could be related to regional or historical influences, potentially incorporating elements from pre-Roman Italic languages.

The surname Levino is relatively rare, and its geographical distribution is primarily within Italy, though emigration patterns have spread it to other countries, including those in the Americas and Europe. Like many Italian surnames, variations in spelling may exist due to regional dialects and historical record-keeping practices. Genealogical research is often required to accurately trace the history of specific Levino families.
