Heraldry:
"City in Vinnytsa Oblast. The first mention refers to 1363
when it was a Lithuanian fortress. The name is connected with Old
Russian word "vino" (wine) - ransom, dowry.In 1640
Vladyslav IV granted the Magdeburg Right and an emblem - two
sabers and a hook. The crampony cross was used on town seals
during 300 years."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
My ancient encyclopedia says, under the heading
"Magdeburg", "Magdeburg became a flourishing
commercial town during the 13th century, and was an important
member of the Hanseatic League..."Magdeburg law"
(Magdeburger Recht), securing the administrative independence of
municipalities, was widely adopted." Perhaps where the
source says "was given Magdeburg right" we should
translate "received the right of civic self-government"
or something similar.

Victor Louis, in 'The Complete Guide to the Soviet Union',
1991, states: 'Vinnitsa's name probably derives from the old
Slavic word "vyeno" meaning "ransom" or
"transferred property".
