What does Verity mean?
Verity means “Truth”.
Verity is an English virtue name taken from the word for truth, ultimately related to Latin veritas. Unlike a name with several competing older roots, it has a clear vocabulary meaning. Its history fits the English tradition of choosing moral or spiritual words as personal names, alongside choices such as Faith and Hope.
Fictional bearers include characters in Winston Graham's Poldark novels and the James Bond film Die Another Day. Those associations give the name literary and screen connections without changing its literal meaning. Verity is a complete given name rather than a short form needing expansion. Its final y belongs to the word itself, not to a modern nickname spelling added to Vera.
