Meaning & origin
Vinie is an obscure name from the late 19th century, first recorded in 1884. It reached its peak in 1885 and has since remained very rare, with a trajectory that is stable at extremely low usage. The name likely originated as a nickname for Lavinia or a variant of Vinnie, and was part of a trend for diminutive feminine names ending in -ie or -y. No top states are recorded due to its scarcity. Today, Vinie is almost unheard of, making it a highly distinctive choice for parents seeking a vintage name with a soft sound.
