Verochka

Verochka is a Russian diminutive affectionate form of Vera, itself derived from the Slavic root meaning faith or the Latin vera meaning true. The suffix -ochka is a common Russian diminutive that conveys tenderness and familiarity, making Verochka a pet name used among family and close friends rather than a formal given name. Vera spread widely among Slavic peoples partly through early Christian usage, as Faith was venerated as one of the three daughters of the martyr Sophia. Related forms include Vera, Verusha, and Verunya.
