John F. Kennedy's sailboat was named Victura because "Victura" is derived from the Latin word "victurus," meaning "about to live." The name reflects Kennedy's optimistic and forward-looking approach to life. Additionally, "Victura" was a play on the Latin phrase "Veni, vidi, vici" ("I came, I saw, I conquered"), which resonated with Kennedy's competitive spirit.
