Wiktor is a Polish name of German origin, derived from Viktor, which means 'victory'. It was quite popular during the mid-20th century in Poland but has since become less common. The name Wiktor is often associated with notable figures such as Wiktor Zin, a Soviet Union marshal and Hero of the Soviet Union, and Wiktor Woroszylski, a Polish painter known for his landscapes and portraits. In literature, it's also found in the works of Nobel laureate ISOBEL ALLENDE, where one of the characters is named Wiktor Díaz.
The name Wiktor experienced varied popularity over the years, with peaks in 2007-2009 and again in 2012 and 2016. However, there's a noticeable dip in its usage from 2009 to 2012, with no births recorded for three consecutive years (2010-2011).
