Character Name

Vickie

Meaning — A diminutive of Victoria, from the Latin victoria meaning "victory", derived from vincere meaning "to conquer". Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, equivalent to the Greek Nike. The name gained particular British associations through Queen Victoria (1819–1901), whose sixty-three-year reign defined an era. The diminutive Vickie carries the informal warmth of the nickname tradition.·Latin origin·Female·VIK-ee

Vickie Vickie distills the Roman goddess of victory into an affectionate diminutive — the massive concept of victoria compressed into something warm and personal. The nickname tradition strips away the formal weight of Victoria while retaining the root concept of conquering and prevailing. A character named Vickie tends to project a determined energy that achieves its goals without announcing its ambitions, winning by outlasting rather than overpowering.

More Latin names

Max

“Max is a short form of Maximilian or Maxwell, with Maximilian derived from the Latin "Maximilianus", itself a combination of "Maximus" (greatest) and possibly the Germanic name Aemilianus. The name was popularised in the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519). As a standalone name, Max has become ubiquitous in Germanic and English-speaking countries.”

Marcellus

“Marcellus is a Latin masculine name, a diminutive of Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war — thus "little warrior" or "young follower of Mars." It was a common cognomen in ancient Rome, borne by the general Marcus Claudius Marcellus who conquered Syracuse in 212 BC. In Polish and Slavic contexts the name carries a classical Roman authority.”

Muriel

“Possibly from the Irish Muirgeal, composed of muir meaning "sea" and geal meaning "bright, fair" — thus "bright as the sea". Alternatively it may derive from the Breton Muriel or from an Anglo-Norman form of an Old Irish or Breton name. The name was common in medieval England and Ireland before falling from use and being revived in the nineteenth century.”

Rufo

“From the Latin Rufus meaning "red-haired" or "red", from the root rufus/ruber related to redness. Rufus was a common cognomen in ancient Rome identifying red-haired members of a family, and was borne by several Roman historical figures. The name entered the Christian tradition through Rufus of Antioch, mentioned in Saint Paul's Letter to the Romans.”

Caesar

“Caesar is a Roman cognomen of uncertain etymology, possibly derived from the Latin word "caesaries" meaning "head of hair", or from "caedere" meaning "to cut", possibly referencing a caesarean birth in the family line. It became a title synonymous with supreme imperial authority, carried by Julius Caesar and all Roman emperors thereafter.”

Sydney

“From the English surname Sidney, possibly derived from the Old English sidan meaning "wide, broad" and eg meaning "island" — "wide island" or "broad meadow by the water". Alternatively it may derive from the Norman place name Saint-Denis (from the French form of Dionysius). The surname Sidney became a given name partly through the prestige of the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney.”
