Origin of the Name
Stories and historical traditions about the name Vintar.
Where did the name “Vintar” come from?
One traditional account says Vintar was once called Baguinsusu and later became associated with the word “Intar.” The story describes a missionary encountering a local chief and a V-shaped formation of people, with the letter V added to “Intar.”
Because this account comes from an older local historical record and is also repeated in secondary sources, Vintar.Com should present it as a traditional/local historical account, not as conclusively proven etymology.
Community history matters. If your family has an older version of the story, Vintar.Com can eventually collect oral histories and compare them with documentary records.
