Meaning & History
From the name of the city in France which derives from the Latin 'Verodunum', meaning "strong fort". This name was first used during the First World War when the city became well-known due to the Battle of Verdun (1916). In the years thereafter the name was not uncommon in the United Kingdom, and was especially popular in Wales. Its use was unisex, though it leaned male.
