Victor

Victor is a Latin name derived from the root vincere, meaning to conquer, with victor itself meaning conqueror or winner. It was a common name in ancient Rome and was borne by several early Christian saints and three popes, which helped spread its use throughout medieval Europe. The name remains widely used across Romance and Germanic languages today. Related forms include Vittore in Italian, Viktor in German and Slavic languages, and the feminine variants Victoria and Vittoria.
