Pinto
Pinto is a Portuguese, Spanish, Jewish (Sephardic), and Italian surname. It is a high-frequency surname in all Portuguese-speaking countries and is also widely present in Spanish-speaking countries, Italy, India (especially in Mangalore, Karnataka), France and Israel. Historically, it has been common among political elites in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries, as numerous presidents, prime ministers, and heads of state have shared the surname. In many languages, Pinto means "coloured" or "painted" as it derives from the Late Latin and Classical Latin , and in some cases, at least from the same word in the sense "lively or restless person". It is linguistically related to the name of Columbus' ship '' La Pinta'', meaning "The Painted One", "The Look", or "The Spotted One". Also related, though greatly diverging in meaning, is the unit of measurement pint, which comes from the Old French word and perhaps ultimately from Vulgar Latin">-4; we might wonder whether there's ...
