Veretie is an extremely rare feminine name with obscure origins. It may be a variation of Verity, which comes from Latin "veritas" meaning "truth," a virtue name that gained modest popularity during the Puritan era.

The pronunciation likely emphasizes the middle syllable (ver-ET-ie), giving it a rhythmic, almost French-inspired sound.
