About the name Verity
Verity is one of the Puritan virtue names, filed alongside Prudence and Mercy, but the only one that still sounds inviting rather than admonishing. It remains a quietly British choice, barely registering in American statistics at all.
Verity is a girl name of Latin origin, pronounced VERR-ih-tee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 87 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
