Veronique
Meaning of Veronique
Veronique is a radiant French name that traces its roots to the Latin phrase vera icon, meaning “true image.” She carries the gentle strength of Saint Veronica, the woman who offered her veil to comfort Jesus on the way to Calvary. The name rolls off the tongue like a soft breeze—/veh-roh-NEEK/—and brings a touch of Parisian flair wherever it goes. It’s a name that can turn a grocery trip into a stroll along the Seine. Though uncommon in the US, its steady charm has numbered a handful of newborns each year, making it both distinctive and timeless. Veronique feels like warm sunshine on cobblestone streets—a perfect choice for parents seeking a name rich in history, grace, and heartfelt inspiration.
