What does the name Victoria mean?
Victoria means “victory” in Latin, and it was the name of the Roman goddess of victory. It is also a feminine form of Victor. Behind the Name says it was borne by a 4th-century North African saint, but the name was very rare in the English-speaking world until the 19th century, when Queen Victoria began her long reign. She was named after her mother, a German princess.
Victoria nicknames and other forms
Victoria has a nickname for every mood. Vicky, Vicki, Vickie and Vikki are the bubbly ones, Tori and Tory are the modern favorites, and Vic is short and sporty. Toria is a rarer pet form. With that many options, a Victoria can be a different person at work, at home and on the sports field.
Some famous Victorias
Queen Victoria ruled the United Kingdom for 63 years, from 1837 to 1901, and gave her name to the Victorian era. Victoria Beckham found fame as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls before becoming a fashion designer. Countless Victorias since have been named, directly or indirectly, after the queen.
Victoria through the decades
Victoria is a slow-burning classic. It sat in the lower half of the US top 200 for much of the 20th century, then climbed to 56th in the 1980s and peaked at 19th in the 1990s, when more than 117,000 American girls were named Victoria. It was still 21st in the 2010s, so most Victorias today are under 40.
Did you know?
The Australian state of Victoria was named after the queen when it became a separate colony in 1851, 14 years into her reign, and so was the Canadian city of Victoria, along with many other places. Canada still marks Victoria Day, a public holiday on the last Monday before May 25, for her.
Gift ideas for a Victoria
- For Victoria Day. Canada’s May long weekend is the perfect excuse for a Victoria.
- For a trip to Melbourne. A Victoria visiting Victoria needs a travel journal.
- For a fashion lover. Sketches and style notes, with a nod to Victoria Beckham.
- For a 30th birthday. Victoria peaked in the 1990s, so lots of Victorias are turning 30.
Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Victoria is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Victoria on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
