It was da Vinci which simply means of/from Vinci. The name Vinci, the village where Leonardo was born, comes from the term "vinco" indicating the withes used to tie grapevines, turning red in Autumn.
Leonardo's full name was Leonardo Ser Piero da Vinci. On 15th April, Saturday, around 10.30pm ("at three o’clock in the night" in Renaissance time), Leonardo is born in Vinci out of wedlock to Caterina, a farmer’s daughter, and Ser Piero da Vinci, a notary (1427-1504).
