Boy name · 200 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Vinnie: 200 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 56 births in 2025.
Vinnie is most often a shortened form of Vincent, from the Latin *Vincentius* meaning "conquering" or "victorious," a name borne by several early saints and a fitting choice for a little champion. It also occasionally serves as a nickname for Lavinia or Vincentia. Famous Vinnies include actor Vinnie Jones, the tough-guy footballer-turned-Hollywood star, and jazz pianist Vinnie Burke. The name also feels naturally at home in Scotland, sharing its root with the historic St. Vincent Church in Glasgow and the nearby street names. A playful alternative is the Italian spelling Vincenzo, but the shortened Vinnie has a friendly, down-to-earth charm that remains consistently popular for boys in Scotland.
