Meaning and history

This name comes from the Latin name of the Italian region of Veneto and the city of Venice (see the place name Venetia ). This name was borne by the celebrated English beauty Venetia Stanley (1600-1633), though in her case the name may have been a Latinized form of the Welsh name Gwynedd. Benjamin Disraeli used it for the heroine of his novel Venetia (1837).
