Véra Origin and Meaning

The name Véra is a girl's name of French origin.

Véra is a feminine name with Slavic and Russian origins, though it also appears in French and other European languages. It derives from the Latin 'vera' meaning 'truth' or 'faith.' The name gained popularity in Russia following the introduction of Christianity, as it embodied the virtue of faith. The accent mark in the French version (Véra) distinguishes its pronunciation slightly from the Russian variant.
