The difference between 'Latina' and 'Latino' is the gender of the word and the person it is being used to describe. They both have the same definition - describing a person who is from South America. However, while 'Latino' can be used for all people, 'Latina' refers to South American women only. It is possible for a woman to be Latino, but it is not possible for a man to be Latina.
