Origin
Meaning and history of Vintrell
The given name Vintrell has its origins in the Occitan language, which was once widely spoken in southern France, parts of Spain, and Italy during the Middle Ages. The name is believed to have derived from the Latin word "vindemia," meaning "grape harvest" or "vintage," reflecting the region's rich winemaking heritage.
Vintrell first appeared in historical records in the 12th century, during the height of the Occitan culture's artistic and literary achievements. It was a name commonly found among the nobility and gentry of the region, particularly in the areas around Toulouse and Montpellier.
One of the earliest known bearers of the name Vintrell was a troubadour and poet from Provence, Vintrell de Vaqueiras, who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. His compositions, which celebrated love and chivalry, were highly regarded among his contemporaries.
In the 14th century, a renowned physician and astrologer named Vintrell de Montpellier gained fame for his contributions to the field of medicine. His treatises on astrology and its application in medical practice were widely studied and influential in his time.
During the Renaissance period, a notable figure named Vintrell de Foix served as a diplomat and advisor to the French court of King Francis I. His diplomatic skills were instrumental in negotiating treaties and maintaining peace between France and its neighboring kingdoms.
In the 17th century, a Spanish military leader named Vintrell de Lara distinguished himself in the Thirty Years' War, earning a reputation for his strategic prowess and bravery on the battlefield.
Another notable bearer of the name was Vintrell de Bordeaux, a celebrated winemaker from the Bordeaux region of France in the 18th century. His innovative techniques and dedication to producing exceptional wines earned him widespread recognition and contributed to the region's reputation for fine winemaking.
While the name Vintrell has become less common in modern times, it remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Occitan people and their contributions to the arts, sciences, and viticulture throughout history.

FAQ
Vintrell: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Vintrell?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Vintrell 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 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Vintrell a common name?
We classify Vintrell as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Vintrell most popular?
The single biggest year for Vintrell was 2006, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Vintrell is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Vintrell in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Vintrell a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Vintrell 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 Vintrell still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Vintrell 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 Vintrell 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. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
