Best Answer

In the United States, Latino stands for Latino Americano(Spanish for Latin American), or people whose native language originated from ancient Latin. It includes Spanish, French and Portuguese speaking people born in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America.

Hence, people from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil or Argentina are known as Latinos.
