"Pennino" has Arabic origin (Bin Nino - meaning son of Nino). Sicilians
are mainly Arabs themselves. Their Italian accent is exactly like Arabs
of north Africa speaking Italian.

Italian: from a diminutive of Penna or, in southern Italy, a

They brought a bit of their culture into USA too. And just like Arabs,
when Americans began mistreating and ridiculing them inside USA, they
showed the Americans what Modern Humans could do to them!

  The original "Jim Pennino" died in 2020. This one up there is an imposter; or hell, who knows, could he be reading my dick from his grave too? 30 years of it alive has been long enough.
 So the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The word "pinninu" he has confused the name with, might be a form of "pannolino" pronounced elsewhere in Italy, which translates to "diaper"! So I doubt his name could be diaper. Hehe :)
 Most "B"s among Arabs turn into "P"s as you go north geographically. So my bet is originally it was Bin Nino.
   

Here's what the ancestor must be saying right now:
Nino:   "U me nomu sicuramenti nun significa pannolinu. Allura Physfit avissi ragiuni a pinzari ca veni di 'Ben Nino'! .. "
