Veira is a feminine given name of Latin origin, a modern variant of Vera derived from the adjective verus, meaning “true.” It carries associations of authenticity and sincerity and resonates in Romance cultures, where in Spanish and Portuguese veira denotes a riverbank or coastal slope. In the United States, Veira entered the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 names in 2016 with seven recorded births (rank 961) and has since fluctuated modestly between ranks 934 and 961, most recently registering five births at rank 945 in 2024. Pronounced VEER-uh (/ˈvɪərə/), the name combines classical gravitas with a concise, melodic structure that appeals to parents seeking both heritage and originality.
