Виница

Ultimately from Proto-Slavic *vinica, either related to *viti (“to wind, to curve”) or to *vino (“wine”) (of Germanic or Latin origin, but possibly from the same PIE root as the Slavic verb).

The Ukrainian city's name may alternatively stem from unrelated *věno (“bride's price”) (this etymology is diachronically possible only for the Ukrainian toponym), as the area on which the modern city stands were gifted by Duke Algirdas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to his nephew to govern over them. See History of Vinnytsia for further details.
