The surname Travino originated in Italy during the late medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word 'travino', which means 'crossbeam' or 'timber'. This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with those involved in the construction or carpentry trades.

One of the earliest recordings of the name Travino can be found in the Florentine Codex, a 16th-century ethnographic work documenting the culture and history of the Aztec people. This reference indicates that the name had already spread beyond the borders of Italy by that time.

In the 14th century, a notable figure bearing the name Travino was Giovanni Travino, a Venetian merchant and explorer. He is credited with establishing trade routes between Venice and the Levant, contributing to the city's prosperity during the Renaissance era.

The Travino family also played a role in the history of Naples, where they were prominent landowners and influential figures in the city's political affairs. One noteworthy member was Antonio Travino, born in 1625, who served as a magistrate and was instrumental in reforming the city's judicial system.

In the world of art, the name Travino is associated with the Italian painter and architect, Filippo Travino (1597-1670). He was renowned for his frescoes adorning many churches and palaces throughout Rome and its surrounding regions.

Another individual of significance was Lucia Travino (1782-1856), a renowned Italian opera singer and composer. She was celebrated for her vocal range and her ability to perform both comedic and tragic roles with equal mastery.
