维克多
wéikèduō
The English male given name Victor is translated into Chinese as 维克多 (wéikèduō).
How do you pronounce it?
wéikèduō
Did you know?
- While 维克多 is the phonetic translation for the name, the Chinese word for a 'victor' in the sense of a winner is 胜利者 (shènglì zhě). These two terms are completely unrelated in spelling and sound.
- The character 维 (wéi) used in the name is often associated with 'to maintain' or 'to uphold'. While it serves a phonetic purpose here, it gives the name a subtle, auspicious connotation of stability.
- Because 维克多 is a loanword, it does not follow the traditional rules of Chinese naming, which usually limit names to two or three characters in total, including the surname.
Examples in context
- 陈先生，这是我们公司的合作伙伴，维克多先生。Mr. Chen, this is our company's partner, Mr. Victor.
- 维克多是一个好人。Wéikèduō shì yīgè hǎorén.Victor is a good person.
- 我认识维克多。Wǒ rènshì Wéikèduō.I know Victor.
