Girl name · 175 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Wiktoria: 175 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 17 births in 2011.

Wiktoria is the Polish, Swedish, and Norwegian form of Victoria, a name of Latin origin derived from "victoria," meaning "victory." Its most famous bearers include Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, though the Polish spelling is particularly associated with Saint Wiktoria, a 4th-century martyr, and Wiktoria Gomoła, a young Polish climate activist. While no specific places are named after this spelling, the Victoria name has inspired countless locations worldwide, including Victoria in Australia and Lake Victoria in Africa. The name’s international variants—Victoria, Vittoria, Viktoriya, and Wiktoria—offer a beautiful array of choices, each carrying the same triumphant meaning. In Scotland, Wiktoria remains a less common but graceful choice, reflecting the country’s growing cultural diversity.
