Sandino is of Spanish origin, derived from the town of Santandér in northern Spain. It means "saint and star," offering a blend of reverence and radiance to its bearer. Sandino is often used as a given name, but it can also serve as a surname. In Latin America, particularly in Nicaragua, the name has historical significance due to the influence of Augusto César Sandino, a national hero and leader of the Nicaraguan Revolution against U.S. occupation in the early 20th century.
