masculine · Swedish origin
Viktor is the Germanic and Slavic form of the Latin name Victor, derived from the Latin root vincere, meaning to conquer, with victor itself meaning conqueror or winner. The name spread widely across Europe through the veneration of early Christian saints and martyrs who bore it, reinforcing its use throughout the medieval period. It remains common across Scandinavian, German, Hungarian, and Slavic-speaking countries and is directly related to the anglicized Victor, as well as the feminine forms Viktoria and Victoria.
