Vinny

Vinny is an English diminutive of Vincent, which derives from the Latin name Vincentius, itself built on the root vincere, meaning to conquer. The name gained widespread use in the Christian world through Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a third-century martyr venerated across Europe. Vinny is used as both a nickname and an independent given name, particularly in English-speaking countries, and shares its roots with Vincent, Vince, and the Italian Enzo-adjacent form Vincenzo.
