Victoria

Albert's royal wife

Victoria is a feminine given name derived from the Latin word for victory, popular since the reign of Queen Victoria of Britain (1837–1901).

It also names places throughout the former British Empire: the Australian state, the Canadian city, the Hong Kong harbor, and others.

A victoria is also a light four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with a collapsible top, fashionable in the 19th century. (Lowercase victoria is a genus of water lily.)
