What is the meaning of the name Victoria ?

The baby name Victoria is a girl name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced vik-TOR-ee-ə.

Victoria is Latin in Origin.

Victoria is a Latin feminine name from the Classical Latin noun victōria, meaning victory. The word belongs to the family of vincere, to conquer, with vict- seen in victus, the past participial stem, and the abstract noun suffix -ōria/-ia forming a result or state. As a personal name, its earliest secure form is Latin Victoria, identical to the Roman personification of victory.

In Roman religion Victoria corresponded to Greek Nike, and Christian calendars include Saint Victoria, a 4th-century North African martyr. The name circulated on the Continent in forms such as Italian Vittoria, French Victoire, Polish Wiktoria, Czech Viktorie, and Slavic Viktorija or Viktoriya. It was uncommon in English before Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901; afterward it became established across Britain, the empire, and North America, with Vicky and Tori as familiar short forms.
