    Vera

    Pronounced VEER-uh

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Vera does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Truth; Faith; True", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Vera.
    Meaning
    "Truth; Faith; True"
    Origin
    Russian/Latin

    Vera means truth — the very thing Jesus declared Himself to be: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' In a world of shifting narratives and relative morality, Vera anchors to the absolute, unchanging truth found in Christ alone.

    Spiritual meaning

    Vera is the anchor of absolute truth — Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, who sets every captive free.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
