What is the meaning of the name Prins ?

The baby name Prins is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /prɪns/ (one syllable; Dutch short i as in 'bit').

Prins is Dutch in Origin.

Prins is a Dutch and Afrikaans given name taken from the common noun for "prince," a form shared with Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. The term descends from Latin princeps, "first, chief," via Old French prince into Middle Dutch; as a forename it signals rank, leadership, and esteem.

Better known as a surname in the Low Countries and South Africa, Prins has seen modest use as a given name from the late 20th century, often chosen as an honorific or aspirational choice. Usage is most evident in Dutch- and Afrikaans-speaking families, with occasional appearance elsewhere through cultural influence. Close cognates and variants include Prince (English), Prinz (German/Yiddish), Principe (Italian), and Príncipe (Spanish/Portuguese); the feminine counterpart is commonly rendered as Princess in English.
