What is the meaning of the name Vinnie ?

The baby name Vinnie is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced VIN-ee.

Vinnie is English, Latin in Origin.

Vinnie is an English hypocoristic, most often for Vincent, with the familiar -ie suffix added to the first syllable. The root name is Latin Vincentius, a Roman-period personal name formed from the present participle vincens, genitive vincentis, of vincere, to conquer. Its literal sense is conquering or victorious, preserved in medieval church Latin and later vernacular forms.

Christian veneration of Saint Vincent of Saragossa helped carry Vincent across western Europe, producing Italian Vincenzo, Spanish and Portuguese Vicente, French Vincent, and German Vinzenz. Vinnie developed chiefly in English as a nickname and occasionally as an independent given name; in American records it appears for both sexes, with earlier female use and later stronger association with men named Vincent or Vince. Italian-American entertainers and athletes helped keep the form visible in the twentieth century.
