Gavino

Meaning of Gavino

Gavino is a name with ancient Latin roots, often linked to the old town of Gabii just outside Rome. In sun-drenched Sardinia, its most famous bearer is Saint Gavino, a fourth-century martyr whose brave story still warms family conversations today. The name dances off the lips like a sun-lit melody—gah-VEE-noh—and carries a sense of faith, resilience and timeless elegance. It’s not every day a little Gavino shows up on the playground, so he’s bound to stand out with that rare sparkle. Though it hovers around the 900s in recent US baby name charts, it’s steadily winning hearts with its musical lilt. Choosing Gavino for a son means embracing a spark of history, a dash of Mediterranean spirit, and a lifetime of stories waiting to unfold.
