Vítor is the Portuguese and Galician form of the Latin name Victor, derived from the Latin word victor meaning conqueror or winner, itself from vincere, to conquer. The name was borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs, which helped spread its use throughout the Roman Catholic world. It remains common across Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly in Portugal and Brazil. Related forms include the Spanish Víctor, the Italian Vittore, and the French Victor.
