Gino

Gino is an Italian masculine name, a short form of names ending in -gino, most commonly Luigino (a diminutive of Luigi) or Eugenio. It carries an easy, sunny Italian warmth and a deeply likable, approachable character.

Gino is a name that practically comes with a pizza and a warm laugh. It has all the expansive warmth of Italian culture in two short syllables — friendly, welcoming, entirely unpretentious. It suits a male pet with an affectionate, food-motivated personality and a talent for making everyone in the room feel welcome. The name works beautifully on dogs especially, particularly stockier, warm-natured breeds who approach life with the same unrestrained enthusiasm as a good Italian family dinner.
