Meaning: True; Revere; Respect; Of Varenna

Just like Honest, Truth, and Frank, Varenna is ready to join the 'best policy' club! As a variant of Varena and Verena, Varenna has Latin origins in verus ("true") and vereri ("revere," "respect.") As a child who treats everyone with respect and promises to always tell the truth, your little Varenna will be someone with many friends. If that's the case, they may bring people together just like the tranquil commune in Lombardy, Italy, which shares their name. Initially founded in AD 769 by local fishermen, Varenna by Lake Como is bursting with botanical gardens, lakeside vistas, and gorgeous Mediterranean architecture, and it may be the kind of place Varenna may want to visit someday.
