The name Vincent comes from the Roman name Vincentius, which is derived from the Latin word vincere, meaning "to conquer." It has a similar sound and connotation as names like Victor and Victoria. Vincent has appeared in the Social Security Administration's top-150 every year since 1900 and peaked in 1966 when it was the 58th most popular boy's name in the United States. It hasn't cracked the top-100 since 1992, but was still given to nearly 3,000 baby boys in 2023. It's the name Princess Mary and Prince Frederik of Denmark gave their son Prince Vincent, while Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett went with a more unique version for his son Vincenzo Kainalu, born in 2008.
