Oh, that's about 'faith'. I'm not religious at all, and this name has a deep religious connotation, (at least in an Orthodox Church), it's not a real problem though, but might be taken into consideration, I think.

Oh wow. I guess I never thought it meant anything but "truth."

Well, I know that in Russian and Belarusian the word 'vera' means 'faith'.
And the name Vera is a calque of the Greek Πίστη (Pistis), which means "trust, faith" in Greek.
