What Wiktorija means
Where Wiktorija comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Wiktorija comes from Latin, from victoria, the Roman word for victory. Rome turned that word into a goddess, Victoria, who crowned the winners of battles and games. The short meaning holds no mystery. It means zwycięstwo, victory.
In Poland the everyday spelling is Wiktoria. Wiktorija keeps the fuller Latin -ija ending. The masculine form is Wiktor. Close friends shorten the whole name to Wika. The same Latin root gave English its victory and its Victoria.
The name keeps its own days in the calendar. On the twenty-third of December the Polish calendar marks Wiktoria's imieniny, one of several the year grants her. A girl who carries it shares a root with the Latin for victory.
