Verne
French science-fiction patriarch
Verne is a masculine given name, now uncommon.
Its most famous bearer is Jules Verne, the French novelist whose adventure stories—*Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea*, *Around the World in Eighty Days*, *Journey to the Center of the Earth*—pioneered science fiction.
References to Verne or Vernian typically invoke his imaginative technological speculation.
