Vinnie

Vinnie is an English pet form of names beginning with Vin-, most commonly Vincent or Virginia, both of Latin origin. Vincent derives from the Latin Vincentius, meaning conquering or prevailing, from vincere, to conquer, while Virginia traces to the Roman clan name Verginius, possibly connected to the Latin virgo, meaning maiden. Vinnie gained independent use as a given name in the English-speaking world, particularly in American and British communities, and has been borne by various athletes, musicians, and entertainers. Related forms include Vince, Vinny, Vincent, Vincenzo, and Virginia.
