History & Origin

Victorio grows from the Latin victor, 'conqueror', through the Romance languages — a cousin of Italian Vittorio and Spanish Victorino. The name also belongs to history: Victorio was a Chiricahua Apache leader of the late nineteenth century, remembered for his resistance in the Southwest. The name is warm, formal and unmistakably triumphant (said 'veek-TOR-ee-oh').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely. Rare, Romance, and stately.

Did you know? Victorio dresses the plain Latin victor, 'conqueror', in four Spanish beats. It was also borne by Victorio, the Apache leader who led his people in the American Southwest in the 1870s and 1880s (said 'veek-TOR-ee-oh').
