- Roman name meaning "victor" in Latin. It was common among early Christians, and was borne by several early saints and three popes. It was rare as an English name during the Middle Ages, but it was revived in the 19th century. A famous bearer was the French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1885), who wrote 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Les Misérables'. Victor originates in Latin language and means "man of victory". As a masculine given name it has been popular over centuries and in different spellings all over the world. It was the name of several popes and saints. In the United States the masculine form has never been as popular as its feminine equivalent, Victoria.
