## Etymology

The name Vincent is from the Roman name *Vincentius*, which was derived from Latin *vincere* meaning "to conquer". This name was popular among early Christians, and it was borne by many saints.

The surname Crabbe was derived from the Old English word *crabba,* which means *crab,* or from the Old English word *crabbe,* which means *wild apple.* This latter reference implies that the origin may lie as a habitation name "one who lives near the wild apple trees."
