"nigro" is actually older than "negro", and the source of "negro".

In fact, nigro is only one of the forms of the Latin word for "black", which has a myriad of forms depending on the specific grammatical context in which it occurs.

There are such amusing forms as nigrae nigrorum nigrius nigrioris nigriore nigrioribus and nigerimo.
