It's a name of Italian origin, shortened from a name such as Bernardino, Corradino. -ino is a diminutive suffix (Bernardino = little Bernard), so Dino is etymologically a twice-diminutive name.

Doesn't really meet the expectations set by dino-saur :D

But what about the surname? Grandoni basically means Very Big. The coincidences keep piling up for Mr. Very Big Dino

Little Little Dino the Very Big :3

Dino would be the fermionic superpartner of a D boson, with analogy to the gauge bosons.

W boson; superpartner is Wino

Z boson; superpartner is Zino
