A short form of the name Piero in Italian, or a reference to pine wood or pine-scented items; also a Filipino dish (pinoy rice).
Italian diminutive of 'Pietro' (Peter), or from Spanish/Portuguese 'pino' (pine tree). The name has regional significance in Italian and Spanish-speaking cultures.
If you're thinking 'Pinocchio,' that character's name is literally 'pine wood puppet'—'Pino' from pine and 'occhio' from eye, creating a name that literally means 'pine-eye!' Carlo Collodi invented the name to be descriptive of the puppet's wooden nature.
