The history of the last name Vicentevicente

The surname VICENTEVICENTE is a double-barrelled name that originated in Spain during the medieval period. It is believed to have its roots in the Latin name Vincentius, which means "conquering" or "victorious." The name was popularized by the 3rd-century saint and martyr, Vincent of Saragossa.

During the Middle Ages, many Spanish families adopted compound surnames that combined the given names of both parents. The name VICENTEVICENTE likely originated from two individuals named Vicente, potentially a father and son or two brothers. This practice was common among the nobility and upper classes to distinguish different branches of a family.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name VICENTEVICENTE can be found in the archives of the Kingdom of Aragon, dating back to the 14th century. A prominent figure bearing this surname was Don Juan VICENTEVICENTE, a renowned knight who fought alongside King Pedro IV of Aragon during the War of the Two Pedros against Castile in the 1360s.
