Because it was when Queen Victoria reigned.

(e.g. 'the Georgian time' was when King George reigned.)

It was the era during Queen Victoria's reign!

"Victorian times" covers a 64 year period from 1837 to 1901.

Queen Victoria was Queen of The United Kingdom from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.

This period is often called "Victorian Times."

It is only now that it is referred to as the Victorian time or era, it would not have been at the time
