History & Origin

Vertis is an obscure American name recorded in the early twentieth century for both girls and boys. Its origin is not documented; it may faintly echo the Latin vertere 'to turn' or virtus 'worth and excellence', or simply be a coined, surname-flavored form. It reached its modest high around 1915 and was never common, given to only a couple dozen children a year.

A person named Vertis then would be a great-grandparent today. With no firm etymology, the name belongs among the honestly uncertain coinages of its era rather than the traceable classics. It has not revived and remains a genuine rarity.

Did you know? Vertis was used for both girls and boys in the early twentieth century, a sign of how flexible newly coined American names could be.
