A variant or diminutive form suggesting something slightly or partially eagle-like; also appears as a proper name in Spanish and Italian.
From Latin 'aquilinus' with Spanish or Italian diminutive suffixes ('-ino'), creating a softer or less emphatic version of the meaning; often used as a personal name in Romance-speaking countries.
In Spanish and Italian cultures, Aquilino became a given name literally meaning 'little eagle' or 'somewhat eagle-like'—it was a way for parents to give their child a noble, fierce name without being too dramatic about it.
