History & Origin
Veronia is a variant of Veronica, usually explained as 'true image,' from Latin 'vera' and Greek 'eikon,' and linked to Saint Veronica; some read it on the city of Verona. It appeared as a rare variant across the twentieth century, cresting at only about fifteen girls a year around 1982, always in the shadow of the common Veronica.
A Veronia from its peak would be in her forties today. Its flowing four-beat sound sits beside Veronica, Antonia, and Sidonia - the -onia girl names - and it reads as a soft vintage variant. It shortens to Vera, Roni, or Nia.
