History & Origin

Beronica is a variant of Veronica written with an opening B, a spelling that reflects the way Spanish pronounces B and V alike. Veronica is traditionally read as the Latin vera icon, 'true image,' after St. Veronica, though it is sometimes linked to the Greek Berenice, 'bringer of victory.' Used chiefly in Latina families, the Beronica spelling crested in the late 1970s.

Beronica remained the rarer spelling, borne by a modest number of girls before easing back in the 2000s. A Beronica from her peak is now in her forties. The name reads as a Spanish-influenced form of Veronica and has not revived, though Veronica itself stays familiar.

Did you know? Beronica's spelling is a clue to its speakers: in Spanish the B and V sounds fall together, so Veronica is often written Beronica — a Latina-community form of a saint's name.
