My Name Around The World In Ukraine
http://nameukraine.blogpost.com/

Hi! My name is Vincent. I'm happy to share the information about my name with you! My name is very unusual in Ukraine but I'm proud of it.
The boy's name Vincent \v(i)-nce-nt, vin-cent\ is pronounced VIN-sent. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Vincent is "prevailing". From Vincentius. The name ultimately derives from Latin "vincere", meaning "to conquer". Vincent de Paul, a 17th-century priest, founded an order of missionary brothers. The Saint Vincent de Paul Society, an international charitable organization, was founded in his honor in the 19th century.
