masculine · English origin
Victor is a Latin name derived from 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 popes, which helped spread its use throughout medieval Europe. The name remains widely used across Western languages with minimal alteration, and the feminine forms Victoria and Vittoria developed from the same root. Related forms include the Spanish and Catalan Víctor and the Italian Vittorio.
