Meaning & Origin
A female given name from English derived from the Latin for truth; one of the Puritan virtue names.
Verity is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, from the Latin veritas meaning 'truth.' Verity was one of the Puritan virtue names brought to the American colonies in the 17th century, alongside Faith, Hope, and Prudence — chosen as names that declared a value the parents wanted their child to embody.
About 1,706 U.S. births are recorded and rising. Verity is having a quiet revival among parents who love virtue names with genuine substance. It's rare enough to feel special but immediately understood.
