THE ORIGIN OF MY NAME

                                    
My name means "victory" in Latin, it comes from the Roman goddess of victory. It is also a feminine form of VICTORIOUS. This name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from North Africa.
Though in use elsewhere in Europe, the name was very rare in the English-speaking world until the 19th century, when Queen Victoria began her long reign of Britain. She was named after her mother, who was of German royalty. Many geographic areas are named after the queen, including an Australian state.
