vee

Vee is the name used for the letter V when spoken aloud in English. It is also a term applied to shapes, symbols, and names across disciplines. The form and usage of "vee" derive from the shape of the letter V and from its role as the fifth letter of the Latin alphabet.

In geometry and design, a vee denotes a V-shaped angle formed by two straight lines meeting at a vertex. The term is commonly used in metalworking and engineering to describe a V-shaped groove or notch, such as a V-groove weld, which aids alignment and fusion of parts. In typography and graphic design, the word can describe instances of the letter V or a V-shaped motif used for emphasis or branding.

In mathematics and logic, the symbol ∨ is called a "vee" and is used to denote the logical OR operation. In some branches of mathematics, the vee symbol also represents a join operation in lattice theory.

As a name, Vee is used as a nickname or given name for people and fictional characters. It appears in various works of popular culture, often as a moniker rather than a formal given name.
