The surname Corino has its origins in Italy, where it first appeared in the 14th century. It is believed to be derived from the Italian word "corno," meaning horn, possibly referring to an occupation or trade related to horn-making or a physical characteristic of the family's earliest ancestors.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Corino can be found in the Venetian archives from the late 1300s, where a certain Giovanni Corino is mentioned as a merchant and landowner in the region.

In the 15th century, the Corino name began to spread across northern Italy, with records showing families bearing this surname in cities such as Milan, Turin, and Genoa. Some notable individuals from this period include Antonio Corino (1435-1501), a renowned physician from Verona, and Girolamo Corino (1472-1544), a Venetian navigator who accompanied the famous explorer Giovanni Caboto on his voyages to the Americas.

As the centuries progressed, the Corino name continued to gain prominence in various parts of Italy. In the 17th century, a branch of the family established itself in the city of Naples, where they became respected merchants and bankers. One of their descendants, Giuseppe Corino (1685-1758), was a prominent art collector and patron of the arts.

Another notable figure was Vincenzo Corino (1736-1804), a scholar and author from Rome, who wrote extensively on the history and culture of ancient Italy. His works, including "Annali Romani" (Roman Annals), were widely acclaimed and contributed significantly to the study of Roman antiquities.

In the 19th century, the Corino name found its way to the Americas, with several families emigrating from Italy and settling in various parts of the United States and Argentina. One such individual was Giovanni Corino (1825-1901), who became a successful businessman and landowner in New York City after arriving from Naples in the 1850s.
