From the Oxford University Press "American Family Name Origins":
Mino
1. Galiciam, Asturian-Leonese and Spanish (Miño): habitational name from any of several places in Galicia, Asturies, and Soria called Miño, which take their name from the Miño river on which they stand.
2. Japanese (rare): variously written, usually with characters meaning ‘three fields’, though the actual meaning is ‘straw raincoat’.

Italian Mino comes generally from two regions: one is in Northern Italy Piedmont (Piemonte9, th other in Southern Italy is Puglia region, the area of Bari: the "heel of Italy".
Mino could be an hypocoristic form of first names as Guglielmo, Giacomo or Anselmo
