Vincente

Vincente is a masculine given name used primarily in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities. It is a variant spelling of Vicente, which itself comes from the Latin Vincentius, derived from Vincent meaning “conquering” or “victor.” The form Vincente reflects regional orthography and naming traditions and is less common than Vicente in most contexts, though it appears in Latin America, parts of Europe, and among diaspora populations.

Related names include Vicente (the more common form in Spanish and Portuguese), Vincent (English), Vincenzo (Italian), and Vincentia (feminine).

In Catholic-influenced regions, the name has historic usage due to saints named Vincent, such as Saint Vincent of Zaragoza and Saint Vincent de Paul, contributing to its long-standing presence.

Given name Vincente has been borne by various individuals in public life, including athletes and artists, especially in countries where the spelling is customary. However, there is no single dominant figure associated with the name globally.
