Vic

Vic is a short form of Latin-origin names built on the root victoria, meaning victory, most commonly serving as a diminutive of Victor or Victoria. The masculine form Victor was widespread in the Roman world as both a personal name and an epithet, and was later popularized by Christian usage honoring several early martyrs and popes. As an independent given name, Vic is used for both men and women in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Victor, Victoria, Vicente, Viktor, and Vittorio.
