Duvic is a name in my family. In our case, it's French, with du- (of the) matched with -vic (a geographical feature -- hill maybe?). So not related to "victory," but my guess is that Vichy and other place names with "vic" are related.

I've been told it's also a Serbo-Croatian name, spelled the same but pronounced differently. No clue what the etymology is there.

I will go on with blind tries... hope this attempt succeeds: let's see it as "du vic" that is "de vic" or "from vic" "vic" meaning "Victor" both as the name and as the English-Latin word akin to "Victory" or "vic" might stand from the same it standed in "vichy France" or in "viceroy" or the "vir" in "virago"
