Brit. /vɪnˈsɛnʃən/, U.S. /vɪnˈsɛn(t)ʃən/, Caribbean English /vɪnˈsɛnʃan/, /vɪnˈsɛnʃʌn/
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name St Vincent , -ian suffix.
Etymology: < St Vincent, the name of an island in the Lesser Antilles (Windward Islands) + -ian suffix.The European name of the island is attested in Spanish use from at least the first half of the 16th cent. (e.g. c1527 as (isla de) San Vicente); in English use, the name is attested from at least the first half of the 17th cent.
