Verne Origin and Meaning

The name Verne is a girl's name.

Verne as a feminine name has French origins, possibly derived from the Latin 'vernus' meaning 'spring.' While more commonly recognized as a masculine name (as with author Jules Verne), its use for girls represents a pleasant gender-crossing choice. For females, Verne carries a vintage charm and understated elegance. The name's compact nature and soft sound give it a subtle femininity despite its traditional masculine associations. Verne for girls saw limited usage in the early 20th century but remains quite rare. It might appeal to parents seeking a short, distinctive name with literary connections and a gentle strength. Its uncommon status makes it an intriguing choice for those looking beyond typical feminine names.
