Veronica: meaning and origin
Veronica is a Latin alteration of Berenice, Behind the Name explains, its spelling influenced by the church Latin phrase vera icon, “true image”. Berenice comes from the Greek Pherenike, “bringing victory”. Saint Veronica is the legendary woman who wiped Jesus’ face with a cloth and found his image on it. Behind the Name says the name was occasionally used in the Middle Ages, was borne by the Italian mystic Veronica Giuliani, and was not common in English until the 19th century, when it was imported from France and Scotland.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Roni and Ronnie as English diminutives. Wikipedia adds the German Vroni, the Spanish Vero and the Russian Nika, and gives Véronique and Weronika as the French and Polish forms. Ronnie is the classic, and Vero is the fun one.
