Verity (''alias'' Veretie, Verety, Verita, Veritie, etc.) is a female first name and a surname. As a first name it derives from the Latin feminine noun ''veritas'', meaning "truth". It is thus an equivalent of Alethea, a female first name first used in England ''circa'' 1585, derived from the ancient and modern Greek feminine noun ''αλήθεια'' (pronounced "al-ee-thia"), meaning "truth". It was adopted in England as a Puritan virtue name, truthfulness being considered as a desirable attribute especially in a female. Verity was one of the most popular first names given to girls in Australia. It is especially associated with parts of Yorkshire and Northern England. Verity is also a surname, which may have more ancient unrelated origins, possibly being a corruption of a similar word.〔Surnames had been adopted by families in England centuries before the Puritan era〕 Notable people with the name include: ==Female first name== *Verity Barton (born 1985), Australian (Queensland) politician *Verity Firth (born 1973), Australian politician *Verity James, Australian TV and radio presenter *Verity Lambert (1935–2007), English television producer *Verity Price, South African singer, songwriter, actress and speaker from the band Verity and the Shades *Verity Rushworth (born 1985), English actress *Verity Sharp (born 1970), English broadcast radio personality *Verity Snook-Larby (born 1970), English race walker 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Verity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
