In many languages, Pinto means "coloured" or "painted" as it derives from the
Late Latinpinctus and
Classical Latinpictus, and in some cases, at least from the same word in the sense "lively or restless person".[2] It is linguistically related to the name of
Columbus' ship La Pinta, meaning "The Painted One", "The Look", or "The Spotted One". Also related, though greatly diverging in meaning, is the unit of measurement
pint, which comes from the
Old French word pinte and perhaps ultimately from
Vulgar Latinpincta meaning "painted", for marks painted on the side of a container to show capacity.[3]
