Verona
Verona ♀ Of uncertain origin. It seems to have come into use towards the end of the 19th century, and may either represent a shortened form of Veronica or be taken from the name of the Italian city. It became more widely known from Sinclair Lewis's novel Babbitt (1923), in which it is borne by the daughter of the eponymous hero.
