Originating from the Spanish 'Víscente', which evolved from the Latin 'Vincentius', Vicente is a classic and timeless given name. It has been popular throughout history, particularly in Spain and other Hispanic countries, yet remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking nations. The name Vicente translates to 'conquering' or 'victorious', reflecting its roots in Latin and the Roman past.
"Over the century span of 1918 to 2001, the name Vicente saw peaks in popularity with a total of 155 births recorded across these years. The highest frequencies occurred in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with eight births each year from 1946 to 1951. However, the name's popularity seems to have decreased significantly by the late 20th century, with only six births recorded in 2001."
