Join UsBehind the Name
'Verneek' is a play on the word 'Wernicke', which is the name of the area of the brain that is responsible for language development and understanding. Verneek is a compound noun, with 'ver' being the root word for truth in Latin and 'neek' meaning nerd + geek, which hints at some 'neeks' getting to the bottom of truth.
