Origin and meaning of Vicente
Vicente comes from the Latin Vincentius, future participle of the verb vincere, 'to win': meaning 'he who will conquer' or 'winner'. It spread through devotion to several saints, including Saint Vincent of Saragossa and Saint Vincent de Paul, a patron saint of Portugal alongside Saint Anthony. The name combines a strong meaning of strength and victory with a soft sound, much loved in both Portugal and Brazil.
