Etymology

Proper noun
Veronica
- A female given name from Ancient Greek.
- 2007 Anne Enright, The Gathering, Jonathan Cape, →ISBN, page 128:
- My own name, Veronica — an ugly enough thing I had always thought, it sounded like either the ointment or the disease — was one her great favourites. St Veronica wiped the face of Christ on the road to Calvary and He left His face on her tea towel. Or the picture of His face. It was the first-ever photograph, she said.
