Victor (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victor is both a given name and a surname. It is Latin in origin meaning winner or conqueror, and the word victor still means this in Modern English.

Although not directly associated with a Biblical name, Victor is one of the earliest Christian names, borne (as Vittorio) by several saints and popes, symbolizing Christ's victory over sin and death.
