Vinni Origin and Meaning

The name Vinni is a boy's name.

Vinni is a masculine name that originated as a diminutive form of Vincent, which comes from the Latin 'Vincentius' meaning 'conquering.' This friendly, approachable spelling variant maintains the charm of the nickname while standing as an independent given name. Vinni offers a more casual and playful alternative to the formal Vincent, with the double 'n' adding a distinctive visual element. While less common than Vinny (with a 'y'), this spelling has appeal for parents seeking a name that feels simultaneously affectionate and independent. The name carries connotations of warmth and approachability while honoring its connection to the more traditional Vincent.
