Meaning & Origin
A transliteration of the Macedonian or Russian male given name Ви́ктор (Víktor).
Viktor is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, the Slavic and Scandinavian form of Victor, from Latin victor, meaning 'conqueror, winner' — from vincere (to conquer, to win).
Viktor is the standard form across Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, and other European countries — giving it a distinctly Continental European character. The K spelling sets it apart from the anglicized Victor while maintaining the triumphant meaning. Known to fans of Yuri on Ice through the beloved figure skater Viktor Nikiforov.
