Vinny

Vinny is an English diminutive of Vincent, which derives from the Latin name Vincentius, itself rooted in the Latin word vincere, meaning to conquer. The name gained widespread Christian use through Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a third-century martyr venerated across Europe. Vinny is used both as an informal short form and as an independent given name in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Vince, Vincenzo, and Vicente.
