"Variant of Zephyrinus"
The name Zeferino is commonly a male name from the "Portuguese" origin.
Zeferino is the Portuguese form of the Latin name Zephyrinus, which derives from the Greek Zephyros, the west wind. The same name is written Ceferino in Spanish and Zeffirino in Italian, and in all three it keeps the reference to the wind deity of Greek myth. The spelling Zeferino is the one that appears in Portuguese-language records and in Portuguese-speaking communities abroad.
The pronunciation of Zeferino is zeh-fuh-REE-no.
