Meaning and origin of Vincenzo
Vincenzo is an Italian and Latin name that means “conquering”.
Vincenzo is the Italian form of Vincent, from the Latin Vincentius, based on vincere, meaning to conquer. Several saints carried the name, including Saint Vincent de Paul, known for his work with the poor. In Italy, Vincenzo is a traditional favorite, especially in the south, and it was borne by composer Vincenzo Bellini. English speakers often say vihn-SEHN-zoh, while the Italian pronunciation is closer to veen-CHEHN-tsoh.
