What is the meaning of V2?

Firstly, I tried a search, but 'V2' is less than 3 characters long and isn't counted in any search results.

Anyhoo, I know V1 was decision speed (after this you take off), but I thought V2 was the speed you worked out beforehand that is the minimum to get you airborne - ie. at V2 you can pull back and you will take off.

Now the problem arises when it comes to VR. I'm now pretty certain this does the jjob I thought V2 did.

Do you call out V2 in take-off? What does it do nad how does this compare to VR?

Cheers!
