Meaning and origin

Victoria means Victory.

So strongly identified with Queen Victoria that an entire era of British history and design carries her name ('Victorian'); the name itself surged in American usage in the 1980s-1990s, decades after the queen's death, suggesting the association functions as prestige/classic-name resonance rather than direct royal-tribute naming.
