What is the meaning of the name Vincent ?

The baby name Vincent is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈvɪnsənt/ (VIN-sent).

Vincent is Latin in Origin.

Vincent derives from Latin Vincentius, from the verb vincere “to conquer, prevail,” giving the sense “conquering” or “victorious.” The name spread with early Christianity, borne by martyrs and bishops, notably St. Vincent of Saragossa (4th century), St. Vincent Ferrer of Valencia (14th–15th century), and St. Vincent de Paul of France (17th century). Brought to England by the Normans, it remained in use through the Middle Ages, later enjoying steady revival in the 19th and 20th centuries and retaining a classic profile in many countries today.

International forms include French Vincent, Italian Vincenzo, Spanish and Portuguese Vicente, German Vinzenz, Polish Wincenty, Dutch Vincent, Irish Uinseann, Lithuanian Vincentas, and South Slavic Vinko; Latin Vincentius appears in ecclesiastical contexts. Diminutives and nicknames include Vince, Vin, Vinnie/Vinny, and Italian Enzo (from Vincenzo). Feminine counterparts are Vincenza (Italian) and Vicenta (Spanish). Saints named Vincent also became patrons of vintners in parts of Europe.
