Vítor is a Portuguese and Galician form of the Latin name Victor, derived from the Latin root vincere, meaning to conquer or to win, with Victor itself meaning conqueror or victor. The name was borne by several early Christian martyrs and saints, which helped spread its use throughout the Roman Catholic world. It remains a common given name across Portugal and Brazil, sitting alongside Spanish Víctor and Italian Vittore as regional cognates of the same classical source.
