what is the meaning of veronica in english
she who brings victory
title: Veronica (name) text: Seleucids of Asia. In medieval etymology, Veronica was sometimes wrongly supposed to derive from Latin "vera" (true) and Greek "eikon" (image). Its popularity in medieval and modern times is based mainly on the importance in Christianity of Saint Veronica and her Veil of Veronica. Pet forms of Veronica include Ronnie and Roni and the German Frony. In Russian, the pet form is Nika (Ника). "Veronica" is a popular name in many countries in the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, as well as southern Ireland, France, and French-speaking Canada. Veronica (name) Veronica (also spelled Veronika or Verónica) is a female title: Veronica (name) text: Veronica (name) Veronica (also spelled Veronika or Verónica) is a female given name, the Latin transliteration of the Greek name Berenice, Βερενίκη. This was the Macedonian form of the Athenian Φερενίκη, "Phereníkē", or Φερονίκη, "Pheroníkē", from φέρειν, "phérein", to bring, and νίκη, "níkê", "victory", i.e. "she who brings victory".

In 1844, Sister Marie reported that in a vision, she saw Saint Veronica wiping away the spit and mud from the face of Jesus with title: Saint Veronica text: her—the image of his face miraculously impressed upon it. This piece of cloth became known as the Veil of Veronica. The name "Veronica" itself is a Latinisation of Berenice (, "Berenikē", with a secondary form "Beronike"), a Macedonian name, meaning ""bearer of victory"". The woman who offered her veil to Jesus was known by this name in the Byzantine East, but in the Latin West the name took a life of its own.

In his 2015 autobiography, "Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink", Costello wrote of his collaboration with McCartney, "I'd brought an early version of "Veronica" that you would have recognized […] All the words I'd already written were about my paternal grandmother, Molly, or more formally, Mabel Josephine Jackson. In fact, her Catholic confirmation name, Veronica, provided the very title of the song". "Veronica" was also Costello's highest-charting Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 19 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 singles chart, No. 1 on its Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, and No. 10 on
