Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Veronika is a feminine name of Greek origin meaning “bringer of victory”.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Veronika sa vyvinulo z gréckeho mena Bereniké, macedónskej podoby mena Fereniké, utvoreného z prvkov phérein – niesť, prinášať a níké – víťazstvo. Pôvodný význam mena je teda „prinášajúca víťazstvo“. Neskoršie spojenie s výrazom vera icon – pravý obraz – je kresťanskou ľudovou etymológiou spätou s legendou o svätej Veronike, nie samostatným pôvodom mena.
