Victoria is the Latin word for “victory,” and the name of the Roman goddess of triumph. Britain’s Queen Victoria, who reigned more than sixty years, turned it into a royal classic.
IS a bloom word: directly the English flower name, from Latin 'rosa' (the rose). Also used historically as a short form of Germanic names with the element 'hrod' (fame), but the enduring modern sense is the flower itself.
Victoria is more popular than Rose today: about 4,027 US babies were given the name Victoria in 2025, compared with 2,386 named Rose.
Victoria means Victory (Latin origin), while Rose means Rose (latin origin).
In US records, Victoria first appears in 1880 and Rose in 1880, so Victoria has the longer recorded history.
