The municipality was created in 1966 with the union of municipalities of Beranui and Calvera, in a concentration process in the State.
Since 2011 the official name of the municipality is Beranuy (Catalan:[beɾaˈnuj]), which is an adaptation of Catalan name (Beranui)(Catalan:[beɾaˈnuj]) in Spanish.[3][4] In 1966 the municipality received the name of "Veracruz" (Spanish:[beɾaˈkɾuθ]). The paronymVeracruz (Spanish:[beɾaˈkɾuθ]) is a Hispanicization too of the traditional name Beranui, that disregarded the natural linguistic correspondence.[5]
