Weronika

Girl name · 72 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Weronika: 72 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 11 births in 2008.

Weronika is the Polish form of Veronica, ultimately from the Latin *vera icon*, meaning “true image”—a reference to Saint Veronica, who according to tradition wiped Christ’s face on the way to Calvary. The name is borne by Polish actress Weronika Rosati, known for international film roles, and by Weronika Książkiewicz, a TV and stage performer. While no major places take the name directly, several towns named Verona share the same Latin root. In Scotland, Weronika has found a steady presence thanks to Polish migration, sitting alongside the more familiar English form Veronica. Its melodic, four-syllable rhythm makes it a distinctive yet accessible choice, bridging Continental elegance with a deep Christian heritage.
