Etymology
Torino probably comes from the name of the old local people, the Taurini, and from the Latin name Taurinum. A helpful way to remember it is to think of toro, which in Italian and Spanish means 'bull', so Torino can be pictured as 'the place of the bull', and that is why it is the Italian name for the city of Turin.
