Vhari

Girl name · 26 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Vhari: 26 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1986.

Vhari is a distinctive Scottish Gaelic form of Vera, which itself derives from the Latin *verus*, meaning "true." This name carries a sense of honesty and authenticity, and it has been used in Scotland as a traditional variant, often pronounced with a soft "V" sound. One notable bearer is Vhari Russell, a Scottish actress known for her work in theatre and television, including roles in *Taggart* and *River City*. The name also shares its root with the Italian city of Verona, whose name may stem from the same Latin word. Vhari is a less common but charming alternative to Vera, and it has a particularly strong association with the Highlands, where it has been used for generations.
