Morlino

Morlino is a surname of Italian origin. It is a regional variant, primarily found in the Veneto region of Italy. The name is thought to be derived from a nickname relating to the "Morlach" people, a group of Vlachs (Romance-speaking peoples) who lived in the mountains along the Dalmatian coast and hinterland. These areas were historically part of the Venetian Republic. The term "Morlach" may have then been used to refer to individuals who originated from or had characteristics associated with that region, eventually evolving into a surname.

The distribution of the surname Morlino is relatively concentrated in specific areas, suggesting a localized origin and subsequent dispersal within Italy and potentially abroad due to emigration. It is not one of the most common Italian surnames.

The surname, like many others, can provide clues about family history and geographic origins. Further research into genealogical records and regional historical information can often reveal more detailed insights into the specific history of individuals and families bearing the Morlino surname.
