All around the world, Merino (Merino , Meriño , Мерино ) is a rare primarily male, but very seldom female given name. The first name Merino is habitual in Peru, where it is a rare masculine name, Italy, where it is a rare mostly masculine, but infrequently girly name, and the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Peru, Italy, and Mexico. More prevalently, Merino is the last name as well as the forename.
