It's called Veronica's Veil for illiteration purposes only. It probably was more like a hankie that she offered to wipe Jesus's fave on the way to Calvary. Good point! In fact, 'Veronica' was not her real name. The word 'veronica' translates into 'real icon'.
The person who wiped our Lord's brow was real as is the image left behind. Only the names have been changed ... to protect the innocent ;-)

I'm still waiting for the sola scriptura crowd to come along and explain that since this isn't specifically mentioned in the Bible it couldn't be real and call us idolators.
