OHMEGOODNESSSSSS!!!!!
I Found some crap that's related to Vincent...in some way or another....
Name
Vincent
Etymology: The name Vincent is derived from Vincentius, which in turn comes from the Latin word vincere, meaning "to conquer or prevail". Even though the definition is probably not the reason the name was chosen, it is still fitting. Vincent's main motivation for joining Cloud was to confront Hojo and possibly take revenge on him. In terms of prevailing, his personal struggles are to overcome his guilt and resolve his past.
Possible Factors: Vincent is a name that is often associated with a melancholy, misunderstood nature. Vincent van Gogh, a famous painter, had this sort of temperament, and this could be why the name conjures up thoughts of moodiness. The first impression players get of Vincent is that he is a sad, dejected man.
Valentine
Etymology: The surname Valentine, like the name Vincent, also has Latin roots. It is drawn from Valentinus, derived from the word valens, which means means strong, vigourous, healthy, able, and brave.
Namesake: The Christian holiday, Valentine's Day, is a celebration of love in honor of Saint Valentine (Valentius). There are different versions of Saint Valentine's story, but they are all love-centric and portray the man as a heroic martyr.
A third century Roman priest, Valentine lived under the reign of Claudius II. Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers than those with wives, and decreed that young men could not marry. Valentine was outraged by this law and continued to marry young couples in secret. Eventually, Valentine was discovered and in punishment for his crimes, he was sentenced to death.
Some versions of the legend add that while Valentine awaited execution, his only friend, Claudius' blind daughter, comforted him. His last letter to her before his execution was signed "From Your Valentine". This addition varies from story to story. In some cases, the girl he gives the letter to is the jailor's daughter, whom he is in love with.
Vincent's story is that of a tragic love, so it is fitting that a surname with such a romantic history was chosen for his character.
Yea...that's just something cool I found about his name.... ^w^
Hope thou likests!
