With a name like Delphino, your little one won't just make an entrance; they'll make a splash. As the masculine form of the Latin title Delphinus, Delphino has several definitions. The first stems from delphīnus, the Latin word for "dolphin," making Delphino an ideal choice for an energetic and playful tiny tot! This moniker may also translate to "womb" from the Latin delphys, symbolizing the renewed fun and delight every day with your sweet Delphino will hold.
