The baby name Prince is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /prɪns/ (PRINS).
Prince is French in Origin.
Prince is an English given name taken from the hereditary title, ultimately from Latin princeps “first; chief,” via Old French prince and Middle English. As a name it conveys nobility, leadership, and rank, traditionally referring to a king’s son but more broadly to a foremost person.
Used as both given name and surname since at least the 18th-19th centuries in Britain and America, Prince appears in US records throughout the 1900s and has risen in the 21st century alongside other regal names. It is common in parts of West and Southern Africa as an aspirational English name. Variants and cognates include German Prinz, Dutch/Scandinavian Prins, Spanish/Portuguese Príncipe, and Italian Principe; feminine counterparts are Princess and Princella, with Princeton and Princewill as elaborations. Notable bearer Prince Rogers Nelson (the musician) helped keep the name in popular consciousness.
