Veronica (name)
Veronica (variants in other languages: Veronika, Verónica, Verônica, Véronique, Weronika, Вероника) is a female given name, a Latin alteration of the Greek name Berenice (Βερενίκη), which in turn is derived from the Macedonian form of the Athenian Φερενίκη, ''Phereníkē'', or Φερονίκη, ''Pheroníkē'', from φέρειν, ''phérein'', to bring, and νίκη, ''níkê'', "victory", i.e. "she who brings victory". The Ancient Macedonian form of the name was extensively used as a royal feminine name by the reigning dynasties of the states of the Diadochi of Alexander the Great throughout the Eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic age, most notably by the Ptolemies of Egypt and by the Seleucids of the Levant. In medieval etymology, Veronica was sometimes supposed to derive from Latin ''vera'' (true) and Greek ''eikon'' (image). Its popularity in medieval and modern times is derived from the prominence in Christianity of Saint Veronica and he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Verónica (bullfighting)
Spanish-style bullfighting is a type of bullfighting that is practiced in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, as well as in parts of southern France and Portugal. This style of bullfighting involves a physical contest with humans (and other animals) attempting to publicly subdue, immobilize, or kill a bull. The most common bull used is the Spanish Fighting Bull (''Toro Bravo''), a type of cattle native to the Iberian Peninsula. This style of bullfighting is seen to be both a sport and performance art. The red colour of the cape is a matter of tradition – bulls are color blindness, color blind. They attack moving objects; the brightly-colored cape is used to mask blood stains. In a traditional ''corrida'', three ''toreros ''(or ''Torero#Matador de Toros, matadores'') each "fight" against two out of a total of six "fighting" bulls to death, each bull being at least four years old and weighs up to about (with a minimum weight limit of ).
