About the name Veer

Veer is the oldest word for a hero in the Indic languages, the root behind everything from Vira-rasa in dramaturgy to the honorific stuck in front of freedom fighters' names. Its single strong syllable has made it a runaway modern favourite, equally at home in Punjabi, Gujarati and Hindu Rajput families.

Veer is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced VEER. On the NameRarity scale it scores 73 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 2010s.
