History & Origin

Trino began life as a household short form of Trinidad, the Spanish devotional name for the Holy Trinity (Latin trinitas). Like many such nicknames, it was sometimes recorded on its own in the United States, chiefly among Mexican-American families.

It never rose above a trickle, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its modest peak, yet it turns up in American records from the nineteen-tens onward. A man named Trino from that early stretch would be of a great-grandfather's generation now.

Did you know? Because it comes from Trinidad, a name often given for a child born near Trinity Sunday, Trino carried a small devotional streak through Mexican-American families for generations.
