Victor

Winner; conqueror.

Victor is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning “winner” or “conqueror”. It was already a personal name in Roman times: the meaning describes the victorious person, rather than an abstract idea of victory. The name has a firm centre in its k and t sounds, followed by a softer English ending. That contrast gives Victor a composed, slightly formal feel without making it elaborate. It may appeal if you like a substantial-sounding name that stays brief. In English, the first syllable takes the stress: VIK-ter. French Victor keeps the same spelling but sounds /vik.tɔʁ/, with a full final vowel and a French r. For a family using both languages, the written name can stay the same while its everyday sound changes.

Etymology: From Latin victor, a noun for someone who wins or conquers, also used as a Roman personal name.
