title: Veronica (name)

text: Seleucids of Asia. In medieval etymology, Veronica was sometimes wrongly supposed to derive from Latin "vera" (true) and Greek "eikon" (image). Its popularity in medieval and modern times is based mainly on the importance in Christianity of Saint Veronica and her Veil of Veronica. Pet forms of Veronica include Ronnie and Roni and the German Frony. In Russian, the pet form is Nika (Ника). "Veronica" is a popular name in many countries in the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, as well as southern Ireland, France, and French-speaking Canada.

text: "Veronica" comes from the Latin "vera", meaning "true" or "Truthful", and the Greek "eikon", meaning "image"; the Veil of Veronica was therefore largely regarded in medieval times as the "true image", the truthful representation of Jesus, preceding the Shroud of Turin. Saint Veronica was mentioned in the reported visions of Jesus by Sister Marie of St Peter, a Carmelite nun who lived in Tours, France, and started the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. In 1844, Sister Marie reported that in a vision, she saw Saint Veronica wiping away the spit and mud from the face of Jesus with

The genus name "Veronica" used in binomial nomenclature was chosen by Carl Linnaeus based on preexisting common usage of the name veronica in many European languages for plants in this group. Such use in English is attested as early as 1572. The name probably reflects a connection with Saint Veronica, whose Latin name is ultimately derived from Greek, Berenice.

The name "Veronica" itself is a Latinisation of Berenice (, "Berenikē", with a secondary form "Beronike"), a Macedonian name, meaning ""bearer of victory"". The woman who offered her veil to Jesus was known by this name in the Byzantine East, but in the Latin West the name took a life of its own. As proven by a medieval text, "Veronica" was used by the 13th century as a designation for a relic venerated in Rome as the true image of

It is thus designated in several medieval texts mentioned by the Bollandists (e.g. an old Missal of Augsburg has a Mass ""De S. Veronica seu Vultus Domini"" - ""Saint Veronica, or the Face of the Lord""), and Matthew of Westminster speaks of the imprint of the image of the Savior which is called Veronica: ""Effigies Domenici vultus quae Veronica nuncupatur"" - ""effigy of the face of the Lord which is called a Veronica"". By degrees, popular imagination mistook this word for the name of

Since the Latin word for "true" or "authentic" happens to be "vera", the theory emerged that the name itself is derived from the Latin phrase "true image", "vera icon" (one Latin word for "image" is "icon", derived from , "eikona"). In the 13th-century text and also in some later sources the term Veronica was used for the veil, not the person, but for centuries it has been better known as the name of the woman. The claim that the name Veronica is derived from "vera icon" proved to be very persistent and we encounter it until today. The "Encyclopædia

title: Veronica (name)

long_answer: Veronica is a female given name, the Latin transliteration of the Greek name Berenice, Βερενίκη. This was the Macedonian form of the Athenian Φερενίκη, Phereníkē, or Φερονίκη, Pheroníkē, from φέρειν, phérein, to bring, and νίκη, níkê, "victory", i.e. "she who brings victory". The Ancient Macedonian form of the name was popularized because of its extensive use as a royal feminine name by the reigning dynasties of the states of the Diadochi of Alexander the Great throughout the Eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic age, most notably by the Ptolemies of Egypt and by the Seleucids of Asia. In medieval etymology, Veronica was sometimes wrongly supposed to derive from Latin vera (true) and Greek eikon (image). Its popularity in medieval and modern times is based mainly on the importance in Christianity of Saint Veronica and her Veil of Veronica. Pet forms of Veronica include Ronnie and Roni and the German Frony. In Russian, the pet form is Nika (Ника). "Veronica" is a popular name in many countries in the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, as well as southern Ireland, France, and French-speaking Canada.
