Victory (VIK-tuh-ree) springs straight from the Latin “victoria,” the rallying cry of ancient Rome and the name of the winged goddess who crowned every conqueror. In modern English, it trims the lace off Victoria and swaps Victor’s tux for a sleek, unisex hoodie, giving parents a word-name that beams success without the swagger. A child called Victory carries a built-in pep talk—three brisk syllables that sound like a confetti cannon at life’s starting line. The name has hovered modestly on U.S. charts for more than a century, never too common, never quite gone, which means your little champ is likely to be the only Victory called at roll-call. Whether echoed from a soccer field, a science fair, or a wedding aisle, it feels like a fist pump for the future. For parents hunting a name that radiates optimism, resilience, and a touch of Roman drama, Victory just might be the winning pick.
