MEANING & HISTORY
What does Victoriano mean?
Victoriano continues Latin Victorianus, a personal-name derivative of Victor. The Latin victor means conqueror or winner.
The additional ending marks a name-family relationship rather than a different type of victory. Victoriano is not inherently a reference to the nineteenth-century Victorian era; its Latin naming ancestry is older.
