Meaning & origin
Veronique first appeared on U.S. baby name charts in 1952 and reached its peak popularity in 1972 (rank 9,457). Since then, its usage has remained stable but uncommon. The name's French elegance appeals to parents seeking a sophisticated alternative to Veronica. With one-in-160,727 newborn girls bearing the name in 2025, Veronique is a rare but recognizable choice, reflecting a steady trajectory without sharp declines.
Veronique is the French form of Veronica, which derives from the Latin name Vera (meaning "true") and the Greek icon (meaning "image"), referencing the Saint Veronica who wiped Jesus' face. Alternatively, it may be linked to the Greek name Berenice, meaning "bringer of victory." The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages and gained international recognition in the 20th century.
