Meaning and history
Víctor is a Roman cognomen meaning “victor, conqueror” in Latin. It was common among early Christians and was borne by several early saints and three popes. Although rare as an English name in the Middle Ages, it was revived in the 19th century. A notable bearer was the French writer Victor Hugo (1802–1885), author of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables.
