From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Latin victoria ‘victory'. Several examples of this name are said to occur in the Liverpool area 1617-1702, but it is not otherwise recorded as a christian name in England before the 19th C. Queen Victoria (who was christened Alexandria Victoria) was named after her German mother, whose names were Maria Louisa Victoria. The Queen’s name was borne by her numerous grand-daughterchildren and was sometimes given as a second name, but did not become generally popular and is now almost obsolete. The Italian Vittoria and French Victoire are from the 3rd-C Roman martyr Victoria.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Popularised in the British Empire by the accession of a queen so youthful that she captured the hearts, as well as the imagination of an outwardly stolid, inwardly sentimental nation. The earliest Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory (for etymology, see Victor), but the first historical Victoria was a Roman virgin stabbed to death in 250 for refusing to accept either a heathen husband or a heathen idol (Benedictines).
