What does Savino mean?
Modern: Derived from 'sabinus', meaning 'of the Sabines'.. Savino is derived from the Latin 'sabinus', referring to the ancient Sabine people of Italy.

Is Savino a good dog name?
Savino has not been formally rated for calling yet. As a rule of thumb, one or two clear syllables work best for recall. With 3 syllables, it has a longer, more musical sound; many owners use a shorter nickname for recall.
Before you commit, say it out loud a few times and check it does not clash with a household name or a training cue like "sit" or "no".
