Origin and meaning of Vittorio
Vittorio comes from the Latin Victorius, from victor, 'winner' — an auspicious name of long standing, borne by saints and by many popes and rulers. In Italy it is indelibly tied to the kings Vittorio Emanuele and to the Risorgimento, and it remains a masculine classic with a noble ring. In the forms Victor, Víctor and Viktor it is widespread across Europe and the Americas. It conveys calm strength and optimism, with the authoritative yet reassuring air of traditional names.
