History & Origin

Weronika is the Polish spelling of Veronica, tied both to Latin vera icon, 'true image,' and to the Greek Berenice, 'bringer of victory.' In United States records it appears from about 1993, carried by Polish immigrant and heritage families, and reached a small high near 2006. Given to only a couple dozen girls a year here, it is rare in America though popular in Poland.

A girl named Weronika in the United States is likely part of a Polish-speaking family keeping a heritage spelling alive. Rather than a coinage, this is a long-established European name; its story runs through Saint Veronica and the classical Berenice rather than any recent trend.

Did you know? Weronika looks unusual to English eyes only because of its W, which in Polish simply sounds like a V; it is a common, well-loved name across Poland.
