Veruca is an uncommon yet distinctive name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Vерука'. It is composed of two elements: 'veru', meaning 'spotted' or 'speckled', and '-ca', a diminutive suffix. Thus, Veruca could be interpreted as meaning 'little speckled one', suggesting a connection to nature or perhaps even the idea of uniqueness or individuality. In literature, Veruca Salt is a memorable character from Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," further associating this name with creativity and imagination.
"Veruca is quite rare as only five babies were named Veruca annually since its introduction in 2016."
