History & Origin
Veronda is best read as a coinage, joining a Ve- opening to the -onda sound of Rhonda, or gently reshaping Veronica, from Greek Berenike, 'bringer of victory,' or Latin vera icon, 'true image.' Its exact source is uncertain. It appears in United States records from around 1950 and reached a small high around 1967. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Veronda at that high would be in her fifties now. It reads as a smooth, of-its-era invention that borrowed familiar sounds without copying one name; it never spread and has not revived, though its Veronica-like ring keeps it graceful.
