Victory is a word name derived from the Latin 'victoria,' meaning triumph or success in battle or struggle. Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, equivalent to the Greek Nike. Using it as a given name is a bold modern choice that declares a child's triumphant arrival in the world.

In Christian communities, Victory often carries spiritual meaning—the triumph of faith over adversity. In Latin American and African Christian communities, names like Victoria and Victory are given to children born after difficult pregnancies or as a declaration of God's blessing.
