History & Origin

Victorine is the French feminine of Victor, ultimately from Latin victor, 'conqueror, winner', and a close relative of Victoria, 'victory'. The soft French -ine ending turns the strong root into something more delicate — 'little victorious one'.

In the American record Victorine is a genuine rarity, most visible around the nineteen-tens and twenties and only ever a few dozen girls a year. It carries a turn-of-the-century, French-flavored elegance; while Victoria stays perennially popular, Victorine remains a vintage curiosity rather than a revived favorite.

Did you know? Victorine Meurent, the model in Manet's 'Olympia' and 'Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe', was herself a painter — a real artist behind two of the most famous faces in nineteenth-century art.
