About the name Vicente
Vicente belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Vicente first appears in Social Security records in 1882. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #522 in 1994, and in 2024 438 babies received the name — 21,451 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
