Where would you think this surname originates?

[27Harper]

Sorry if this hasn't been worded correctly, I'm having major brain fog today.

Just heard of this surname and I think it's really pretty, and I was just wondering where you think it would originate?

The surname is 'Victoriano'. It sounds Italian to me, but I could well be wrong of course. I know I could consult Google on this matter, but I was eager to here your opinions on the origin of this surname if you were to hear it for the first time? xx

I would think Italian or Spanish

I would think Spanish or Italian. Then I would Google it (which I did) and it is used both as a first name and surname, and seems more frequent in Spanish-speaking countries, therefore I'd think it was more likely a Spanish name. Apparently it means 'the conqueror". Presumably the Spanish version of Victor?

A stage name perhaps.

The conqueror? I didn't know that! xx

Why are you eager for people's opinions on a surname? Are you thinking of changing yours?

MrsMoastyToasty What makes you say that? xx

Iamagreyhound - No, I'm fine with my current surname. I'm writing a screenplay and thought that it was an interesting surname xx

Just the first thing that occurred to me.

Spanish. Like the (first name of) Mexican military guy Ramirez?/ Ramires?

Though the "o" ending would have made me guess Italian, had I not known of him.

Is a great name. Successful winner vibes

Definitely not Italian, that would be Vittoriano surely? I would have said South American.

Reppin,

Yes, good point re the Italian "Vittorio" root, with "TT", not a "CT".

I also remember now the names Vittorino and Vittore.

Pretty much any Italian name sounds gorgeous, IMO.

Angolan?

From my research, it's not a very common surname, but appears to occur in Angola and Argentina the most from what I've read. Vittoriano is also a beautiful surname xx
