Victoria was named in honor of Queen Victoria, who was the monarch of the United Kingdom at the time the colony was established. The name was officially adopted in 1851 when the colony was separated from New South Wales. The choice reflected the British influence and colonial aspirations during that era. The capital city, also named Victoria, further solidified the association with the queen.
