Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: A latin vincens ’győztes, hódító’ jelentésű szóból ered a Vincentius keresztnév. A magyarban a latin -ius végződés elmaradása után a név végén -nc mássalhangzó-torlódás keletkezett, amelyet a név végi -nc elhagyásával oldott föl a nyelv, de néhány esetben a családnevek megőrizték a régebbi alakot. Mint minden keresztnévből, ebből is sok családnév keletkezett. Elterjedtsége: Az egész nyelvterületen majdnem egyenletesen megtalálható, Erdélyben valamivel gyakoribb.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
