The earliest known records of the name Mannino can be traced back to the 11th century in Sicily, where it appears in various historical documents and manuscripts. One notable example is the Codex Diplomaticus Siciliae, a collection of medieval charters and diplomas from the island.

In the 13th century, there are records of a nobleman named Ruggero Mannino, who held lands and titles in the town of Polizzi Generosa, located in the Madonie Mountains of Sicily. His descendants continued to use the Mannino surname for several generations.

Another early reference to the name can be found in the Rationes Decimarum, a papal record of tithes collected in the Kingdom of Sicily during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Several individuals with the surname Mannino are listed as landowners or taxpayers in various Sicilian towns and villages.

In the 15th century, a notable figure with the Mannino surname was Filippo Mannino, a scholar and poet from the city of Palermo. He was renowned for his contributions to Sicilian literature and his work in promoting the use of the Sicilian language.

During the Renaissance period, the Mannino family continued to grow in prominence, with members serving as administrators, lawyers, and ecclesiastical figures in various parts of Sicily and Calabria. One notable figure was Francesco Mannino, a 16th-century jurist and legal scholar from the town of Bivona in Sicily.
