I doubt "Victor" would have been given (I don't know too much Latin, but I also doubt that is syntactically correct in either case), but the Romans did give victory titles to generals that did especially well. Probably the best example is that of Scipio Africanus, which got the Africanus after he crushed Hannibal in the Battle of Zama.

But these were mostly (all) referring to names of places, and such "Victor" is almost certainly unhistorical.
