Alethea
Alethea is an English-language female first name derived from the Ancient Greek feminine noun grc, ἀλήθεια, alḗtheia, truth, label=none; ().Campbell. It is thus an equivalent of the name Verity, from the Latin feminine noun ''veritas'', "truth".

Verity
Verity (''alias'' Veretie, Verety, Verita, Veritie, etc.) is a female first name and a surname. As a first name it derives from the Latin feminine noun ''veritas'', meaning "truth". It is thus an equivalent of Alethea, a female first name first used in England ''circa'' 1585, derived from the ancient and modern Greek feminine noun ''αλήθεια'' (pronounced "al-ee-thia"), meaning "truth". It was adopted in England as a Puritan and Quaker virtue name, truthfulness being considered as a desirable attribute especially in a female, and following a new Protestant tradition of naming children after virtues instead of saints in order to avoid idolatry. Verity is also a surname, which may have more ancient unrelated origins, possibly being a corruption of a similar word.Surnames had been adopted by families in England centuries before the Puritan era First name *Verity Crawley (born 1994), English professional bowler *Verity Barton (born 1985), Australian (Queensland) politician * V ...
