Could anyone give me the meaning of the name "Da Vinci"? The best I could come up with is "Wine" but I'm pretty sure there is more to it. If you find the answer, e-mail me at DTHdeus@aol.com
thanks

Everyone is right; da Vinci just means he was from Vinci. It's also incorrect to refer to Leonardo AS da Vinci, since it's not even his name.

Nothing to do with wine, but the answer's pretty straightforward:da Vinci means simply "from Vinci", the town near Florence where Leonardo was born.
