Bringer of victory
Derived from the Greek name Pherenike, it combines the elements 'pherein' (to bring) and 'nike' (victory). It was a common name among the royal families of Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty and appears in the New Testament. While it was highly popular in the early 20th century, it is now considered a rare vintage choice.
