History & Origin

Vicent is the Catalan and Valencian spelling of Vincent, from the Latin Vincentius ('conquering'), a name carried by early martyrs and made a regional favourite by Saint Vincent Ferrer, the fourteenth-century preacher and patron of Valencia. In the Valencian Country it is a household name, and the trimmed spelling is a genuine heritage form rather than a variant slip (said 'vee-SENT').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely. Rare here, very common in Valencia.
