Vijaya is Sanskrit in Origin.
Vijaya is a Sanskrit name, written विजय for the masculine stem vijaya and विजया for the feminine vijayā. Its earliest form is the Sanskrit noun vijaya, victory or conquest, built from the prefix vi- and the verbal root ji, to conquer, with the nominal ending -a. The long final -ā marks the feminine name in Sanskrit grammar.
In Hindu texts, Vijaya and Vijayā occur as names and epithets, including associations with Krishna and goddess traditions. The name also belongs to the semi-legendary Prince Vijaya, described in Sri Lankan chronicles as an early Sinhala ruler. Modern usage varies by region: Vijay is the usual masculine form in much of northern India, while Vijaya remains feminine in several Indian languages; Bengali cognates include Bijoy and Bijoya. Outside South Asia, it appears in diaspora records. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Indian diplomat and first woman president of the UN General Assembly, is a notable bearer.
