About the name
Victoria is the Latin word for victory and the name of its goddess, the Roman counterpart of Greek Nike. It was a real Roman given name long before it was a royal one, appearing on inscriptions across the empire.
The sixty-three-year reign that named an era is unavoidable, and it kept the name grand rather than everyday in Britain for a century. In the US it has been steadily inside the top 100 for decades and now sits at number 54.
Tori carries the 1990s; Vita is the one worth reviving. Four syllables want one (Victoria Wren, Victoria Jane). On our vibe map it is Heirloom with strong Vintage Elegant polish.
