Meaning & Origin
Short form of the male given name Vincent.
Vince is a boy's and girl's baby name of Latin origin, a short form of Vincent, from the Latin Vincentius meaning 'conquering' or 'prevailing,' from vincere, to conquer. Vince has been a standalone name since at least the early 20th century, carried by actors, athletes, and coaches.
Vince has a relaxed, confident American energy — it's the name of the guy who doesn't need to be the loudest in the room but always gets the last word. From Vince Lombardi to Vince Vaughn, the name carries easy authority and a certain unflappable cool.
