Virna Origin and Meaning
The name Virna is a girl's name.
Virna is a feminine name with Latin roots, possibly derived from the Roman family name Vernius or from "virens" meaning "green" or "flourishing." The name gained some recognition through Italian actress Virna Lisi who rose to fame in the 1960s. Virna has a crisp, elegant sound with its two clear syllables and feminine ending. While never reaching widespread popularity, the name maintains a steady presence in Italian communities and has occasional usage in other Latin-influenced cultures. Virna carries a classic, somewhat sophisticated quality that appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth but not overused. The name's brevity makes it accessible across languages while its uncommon status gives it distinction.
