You pronounce it the way that it's written to be honest. Like the word victory, but then you remove the "ee" sound at the end. Victor.

Hope that helps.


Isn’t the OP kind of disrespectful? Just because it’s a foreign name people are allow to say stupid crap someone’s last name?

I guess this Victor guy turned out to be pretty good.

It's an Anglo Saxon thing. They never care about the correct pronunciation of foreigners' names and then take pride in doing so.
