History & Origin

Varonica is one of several sound-spellings families gave Veronica, swapping the first e for an a. The parent name blends the Latin idea of a 'true image,' linked to the veil of Saint Veronica, with a possible Greek root meaning 'bringing victory.' This variant carries that meaning while looking a little more phonetic on the page.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its high around 1970, and it faded soon after. A girl named Varonica then is middle-aged today.

Did you know? The parent name Veronica carries a double story, read by some as Latin for 'true image' and by others as a Latin reshaping of the Greek Berenice, 'bringing victory.'
