Veronika
“Veronika is the Czech, Slovak, Polish, and broader Slavic form of Veronica, from the Latin phrase "vera icon" meaning "true image" — a name that fused the Latin "verus" (true) with the Greek "eikon" (image). Saint Veronica, the woman who according to tradition wiped Jesus's face with a cloth on the way to Calvary and found his image miraculously imprinted on it, made this name deeply embedded in Catholic devotion. The name has also been interpreted as a Latinized form of the Greek Berenike.”
