Lino is a masculine name of Greek origin. A variant of Linus, this name translates to “flax,” a plant that’s a vital part of making linen. This makes for a unique, classic way to remind baby how vital the natural Earth is. As a word in the English language, lino is short for linoleum, which is a type of flooring that also incorporates linen. Creative parents will also enjoy this moniker’s connection with the art of lino cutting, where designs are carved into a lino block for printing. Alternatively, Lino could be a nickname for the likes of Angelino or Linos.
