Origin: Latin

Meaning: Victory bringer; True image

Veronika is a girl’s name of Latin origin. It translates to “victory bringer” and “true image,” as well as being an alternative spelling of its sister Veronica. The more commonly recognized spelling has been brought into pop culture notoriety by Veronica Lodge of the Archie Comics universe, Veronica Mars of the TV series and movie of the same name, and Veronica Sawyer, protagonist of the 1989 cult classic Heathers. Each character embodies the meaning differently, either by being overachievers or true rebels. Veronika gives the name some contemporary edge, with the hard k sound evoking a Slavic flair. Veronika easily translates into a host of nicknames, including Ronnie, the German-flavored Vroni, and Nika.
