What is the meaning of the name Vic ?

The baby name Vic is a boy name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced VIK.

Vic is Latin in Origin.

Vic is a clipped form of Latin Victor, attested as a Roman cognomen and later Christian given name from the common noun victor. The noun belongs to vincere, to conquer, with the agentive suffix -tor marking the doer of an action; its literal sense is conqueror or winner. As a one-syllable hypocoristic, Vic preserves Victor’s opening consonant-vowel-consonant sequence rather than adding a diminutive ending.

Victor was borne by early saints and martyrs in Roman and late antique Christian contexts, helping the name spread into medieval Europe. Vic developed chiefly as an English and Dutch short form, sometimes registered independently. In the United States it is recorded from the late nineteenth century and peaked modestly in the mid twentieth. Belgium and the Netherlands show more visible recent use of Vic as a standalone boys’ name. Cognate forms include Viktor, Víctor, Vittore, Vittorio, and Wiktor.
