Meaning & origin
Veria is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1916. Its peak usage occurred in 1924, though even then it was only given to a handful of babies. The name has remained consistently uncommon, with no significant resurgence in later decades. While its etymology is unclear, it may be a diminutive or variant of Vera or Veronica. Despite its obscurity, Veria has a soft, melodic quality reminiscent of other vintage feminine names. It was never recorded in any top states, indicating its scattered, infrequent use across the country.
The name Veria is rare and appears in early 20th-century U.S. records. It may be a variant of Vera, a Russian name meaning 'faith,' or derive from Latin 'verus' meaning 'true.' Alternatively, it could be a coined name based on similar-sounding names like Victoria or Veronica. Its usage has been minimal, with occasional births recorded in the 1910s and 1920s.
