Comments for VERA (2):
Most probably the mentioned Albanian word for "summer" begins with "ver" because the Latin root of the "summer" and the beginning of the "summer", i.e. the "spring", is "ver", let's take, for example, the Spanish words "verano" (means "summer" as a noun), "primavera" (means "spring" as a noun, "primero" means "first"), "veraniego" (means "summer" as an adjective), etc; the English word "vernal" meaning "spring" as a an adjective.-- iva_toneva 5/24/2006
I love all versions of this name. It's plain awesome.-- Kerules 3/31/2009
Either from the Latin Vera (summer) or just taken from Serbian - Serbian name Vera (meaning faith). It may be coincidental that it is similar to the Albanian word for summer.-- Anonymous User 4/24/2009
