It is derived from the Latin word "fatum," which means "fate" or "destiny." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who was believed to have a significant or fateful role in their family or community.

The earliest recorded instances of the name FATINO can be traced back to the 13th century in documents from the town of Reggio Calabria. It is believed that the name was initially used as a descriptive surname, referring to someone who was considered fated or destined for a particular path in life.

In the 14th century, the name FATINO was found in records from the city of Naples, where a family bearing this surname was known for their involvement in local politics and governance. One notable member of this family was Antonio FATINO, who served as a magistrate in Naples in the late 1300s.

During the Renaissance period, the FATINO name gained prominence in the world of arts and literature. Francesco FATINO, born in 1520 in Cosenza, was a renowned poet and scholar who contributed to the development of the Italian literary tradition. His works were widely celebrated during his lifetime and are still studied by scholars today.

In the 17th century, the FATINO surname spread beyond Italy, with records indicating that families bearing this name had settled in various parts of Europe. One notable figure from this era was Maria FATINO, a Spanish artist born in 1625 in Seville. Her paintings, which often depicted religious scenes and portraits, were highly regarded by her contemporaries.

As the FATINO name continued to spread across Europe and beyond, it was sometimes subject to variations in spelling and pronunciation. For example, in France, the name was sometimes recorded as "Fatin" or "Fatin," while in England, it occasionally appeared as "Fatino" or "Fattino."
