Vere is a rare feminine name with multiple possible origins. It primarily derives from a Norman surname meaning 'alder tree' or from Latin 'verus' meaning 'true'.

As a feminine given name, Vere has an understated elegance and simplicity that appeals to those seeking uncommon names with historical depth. Its brevity gives it a crisp, modern feel despite its ancient roots.
