It appears that he was named after a beloved cousin, Victor Hanson, who was killed at the age of 23 in WWII. Davis is his maternal grandfather's (or great-grandfather's) name.

It seems to me more an act of respecting the memory of ancestors than pretension.

Victor Davis Hanson

Thanks, that’s the sort of thing I was looking for when I made my previous post. And that was an uncle, not a cousin.

Oh, and I think I’ve told you this before, but I love your usernames. We should all be knitting.
