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

Sabrina

From the Latinized form of Hafren, the ancient Welsh name for the River Severn, Britain's longest river. The Roman geographer Tacitus recorded the river's Latin name as Sabrina. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, Sabrina was a drowned princess who became the river goddess of the Severn, making the name one of the oldest named female figures in British legend.

Clara

From the Latin clara, the feminine form of clarus meaning "clear, bright, famous". The name was popularized by Saint Clare of Assisi (Chiara), the thirteenth-century founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, who chose a life of radical poverty following Saint Francis. The name has been borne by queens, scientists, and heroines across European history.

Danuta

A Polish feminine name, possibly a diminutive of Dana or Daniela, from the Hebrew Daniel meaning "God is my judge", composed of din (judgment) and El (God). Alternatively it may derive from a Slavic root. The name is distinctively Polish and became internationally known through Danuta Wałęsa, wife of Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa.

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.

Francis

From the Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frenchman" or "free man," derived from Francus, the Latin name for the Franks — a Germanic tribe whose name derives from a root meaning "free." The name was adopted throughout Europe following the fame of Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226), the Italian friar famous for his love of poverty and nature. Frances is the standard feminine form.

Sylvester

Sylvester is a masculine name derived from the Latin silvestris meaning "of the forest" or "wooded," from silva meaning "forest" or "wood." It was the name of Pope Sylvester I (314–335 AD), who reigned during the conversion of Emperor Constantine the Great, and Saint Sylvester's feast day on December 31st gives the name its association with New Year's Eve in many European countries.
