Veronique

Origin

French origin, from the Latin 'Veraique', derived from 'Vera' meaning 'true' or 'faithful'. The name is a French variant of Veronica, which is related to the Latin 'Vera icon' meaning 'true image', referencing the biblical figure Veronica who offered Jesus her veil to wipe his face, which then bore the image of his face. In French texts, the spelling 'Véronique' appeared in the 19th century. The name is widely used across Christian communities and has enjoyed popularity in French-speaking countries and among those inspired by European naming traditions. It was adopted into Australian usage through European migration, particularly from France and other Francophone regions.

Meaning

'True image' or 'faithful one'. In Australian English contexts, it connotes elegance, grace, and a touch of European cultural heritage. The name symbolises sincerity and authenticity.
