Meaning
The male first name Paulinus comes from Latin and means "the little one" or "the younger one". It is a diminutive form of the name Paulus, which in turn is derived from the Latin word "paulus" meaning "small" or "insignificant". The name was very popular in the Roman Empire and was also carried by several saints. Nowadays, Paulinus is rather rare, but still a traditional and meaningful name.
