Veronika peaked in 2007, when 118 babies got the name.
At least 3,480 babies have been given the name since 1920. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Veronika by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 2000s, when it ranked #3,406. The largest share of babies named Veronika, 43.6%, were born between 1997 and 2012, as Generation Z.
Rank counts both sexes together, among every name SSA recorded that decade; the number under it is births. The 2020s run only to 2025. Generation years follow Pew Research Center, which has not named a generation after 2012.
Where Veronika is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Veronika has been most common in Florida (3.5×), Washington (3.4×), and California (3×), and least common in Ohio (0.45×).
1,564 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
