What is the meaning of the name Vince ?

The baby name Vince is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /vɪns/ (VINS).

Vince is in Origin.

Vince is an English short form of Vincent, from the Roman name Vincentius, ultimately derived from the Latin verb vincere, "to conquer," giving the sense of "conquering" or "victorious." The name entered the European name stock through early Christian devotion to martyrs and bishops named Vincent, notably St. Vincent of Saragossa and, later, St. Vincent de Paul.

Used independently in English since the 19th century, Vince found steady visibility in the 20th century, reinforced by sports and entertainment figures such as NFL coach Vince Lombardi and actor Vince Vaughn. Outside English, Vince also serves as the standard given name in Hungarian. Related forms include Vincent (English/French), Vicente (Spanish/Portuguese), Vincenzo (Italian), Vinzenz (German), Vinko (Croatian/Slovene), and Vincentius (Latin). Nicknames and short forms include Vin, Vinnie/Vinny, and in Italian circles Enzo (from Vincenzo). Feminine counterparts are Vincenza and Vincentia.
