Pincus

Despite its Latin-esque spelling, Pincus is a modern creation that stems from ancient roots on the other side of the Mediterranean. Pincus is an American masculine name that’s a form of the Yiddish Pinkhas or Pinchas, stemming from Phinehas. This Hebrew name derives from the Egyptian Pe-nehasi and has a collection of potential meanings for baby to one day ponder. Pincus can mean “mouth of brass,” “serpent’s mouth,” or “oracle,” each pointing to the importance of one’s voice and how much power it carries. Another possible root is the Egyptian Panhsj, which means “Nubian,” referring to someone from Nubia, a region nestled along the River Nile. Whether you wish to inspire your little one to speak with authenticity or take pride in the heritage that lives on in baby, Pincus continues an ancient and honorable legacy.
