Vero is a shortened form of the Italian female given name Veronica, meaning 'bearing victory'. It has been used as an independent name since the mid-20th century, particularly in Italy and other Romance-speaking countries. The name Vero also has a Spanish origin, where it means 'true' or 'real', derived from the word 'verdad'. In some cases, Vero may also be considered a unisex name due to its use as a shortened form of names like Veronica, Victor, or Vercingetorix.
Vero was quite uncommon as a given name for babies born in 1916 with only five recorded births that year.
