What is the meaning of the name Viktorija ?

The baby name Viktorija is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced vik-TOH-ree-yah (IPA: /vɪkˈtɔrijə/).

Viktorija is Latin in Origin.

Viktorija is the Baltic and South Slavic feminine form of Latin Victoria, ultimately from victor 'conqueror' and the verb vincere 'to conquer.' Its meaning is 'victory' or 'the victorious one.' The -j- reflects the y sound in Lithuanian, Latvian, Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene; related Cyrillic spellings include Виктория (East Slavic) and Викторија (South Slavic).

The name entered Christian usage via early martyrs named Victoria and remained anchored by the Roman personification of Victory; it spread widely again in the 19th century under the influence of Queen Victoria. As Viktorija, it is standard in Lithuania and Latvia and common throughout the former Yugoslav region, where it has enjoyed steady modern-day popularity. International variants include Victoria, Viktoria, Wiktoria, Vittoria, Vitória, Viktoriya, Viktória, and Viktoría. Diminutives and nicknames vary by language, with Vika, Viki/Vicky, and Vikica among the most typical.
