Character-by-character breakdown

In Chinese, Vincent is written with 3 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 文 (Wén), 森 (sēn), 特 (tè). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Vincent rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
