Vincint in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 145 people with the first name Vincint, which placed it at #46,211 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Vincint
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Vincint is White at 46.9%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.2%) and Black (11.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Vincint described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Vincint at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Vincint
The name Vincint is derived from the Latin name Vincentius, which means "conquering" or "victorious." It has its origins in ancient Rome and was initially used as a cognomen or surname. The name Vincentius is composed of the Latin words "vincere," meaning "to conquer," and "ens," meaning "being."
During the early Christian era, the name gained popularity due to its association with St. Vincent of Saragossa, a deacon and martyr of the 3rd century. He was widely venerated, and his name became a popular choice among Christians, particularly in regions with strong ties to Latin Christianity.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Vincint can be found in the writings of the 4th-century historian Eusebius of Caesarea, who mentioned a bishop named Vincent of Capua. Additionally, the name appears in various early Christian martyrologies and hagiographies.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Vincint, including:
1. Vincent of Lérins (c. 445), a Gallic monk and author known for his work "Commonitorium," which outlined principles for distinguishing true Catholic doctrine from heresy.
2. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660), a French Catholic priest renowned for his charitable works and founding the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity.
3. Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), a renowned Dutch post-impressionist painter known for iconic works such as "The Starry Night" and "Sunflowers."
4. Vincent Lingiari (c. 1908-1988), an Indigenous Australian leader and activist who played a significant role in the Wave Hill Walk-Off, a pivotal event in the land rights movement.
5. Vincent Massey (1887-1967), a Canadian statesman and diplomat who served as the first Canadian-born Governor General of Canada from 1952 to 1959.
The name Vincint has maintained its presence throughout various cultures and historical periods, often carrying connotations of strength, resilience, and triumph. Its deep roots in Latin antiquity and Christian tradition have contributed to its enduring popularity across different regions and societies.

FAQ
Vincint: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Vincint?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 30 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Vincint going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 11,425,145 US residents.
Is Vincint a common name?
We classify Vincint as "Very Rare". It ranks above 46.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 30 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Vincint most popular?
The single biggest year for Vincint was 2006, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Vincint is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Vincint in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 145 people with the name Vincint, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #46,211 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Vincint in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Vincint?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Vincint appears almost entirely male. Of the 146 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Vincint?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Vincint is White at 46.9%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.2%) and Black (11.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Vincint most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Vincint in the 2020 Census, accounting for 46.9% (68 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Vincint in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Vincint a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Vincint in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Vincint still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Vincint in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Vincint can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
