On April 18, the name day is celebrated by Victor, Victoria.

On this day, the church honors Victor of Nicomedia.

Victor is a soldier from the 2nd century. At that time, Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire. He made all the soldiers sacrifice one animal. Victor's Christian nature did not allow him to do this and he refused to obey. Then he was tortured cruelly in order to break his spirit and faith. However, Victor did not give up. Christianity helped him go through all the trials they subjected him to, unharmed.

The name Victor, and from there Victoria, comes from the Latin victori, which means victory, writes imenni-dni.net
