Victoria is pronounced vic-TOR-ee-ah. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "victory". Feminine form of Victor. Victoria was a goddess who smiled on the ancient Roman people for many centuries. Early Christians adopted the name, probably due to Saint Paul's praise of "God, which giveth us the victory". Royal associations from 19th-century England's Queen Victoria and the four-syllable pronunciation give Victoria an air of dignity, formality and distinction. Victoria's short forms and nicknames are very informal by contrast. Vittoria is an Italian form; Viktoria is Czech. See also Latoya. Actress Victoria Principal.
