What does the name Viktoria mean?
Viktoria is a spelling of Victoria, pronounced the same way, so it shares Victoria's meaning and origin.
Victoria is the Latin word for 'victory', which was also the name of the Roman goddess of victory. As a woman's name it is the feminine of Victor or Victorius, and DMNES lists a 3rd-century martyr and two 4th-century martyrs called Victoria. It was rare in England until Queen Victoria (reigned 1837 to 1901), whose name made it widely known; many places around the world are named after her.
