Vinzenz Origin and Meaning

The name Vinzenz is a boy's name of Hungarian origin.

Vinzenz is a masculine name of Latin origin, serving as the German and Austrian variant of Vincent. Derived from the Roman name Vincentius, it means 'conquering' or 'victorious.' This traditional name carries a sense of strength and triumph while maintaining a distinguished European heritage. Vinzenz has been used for centuries in German-speaking regions, particularly in Catholic areas where it gained popularity through Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a 3rd-century martyr. While not as widely used as its English or French counterparts, Vinzenz maintains steady usage in Austria, Germany, and parts of Switzerland. The name offers international appeal with its recognizable root but distinctive spelling, making it both traditional and somewhat uncommon in English-speaking countries.
