According to my book " The Great Australian & New Zealand Book of Baby Names". Venetia is said to be the latinised form of Gwyneth
or the Celtic form of Beatrice.
But the response I received saying that it is derived from Venice or Venecia is not exactly what I was looking for.
Any book can tell you that, I just wanted to know if there was a history behind the name and maybe when "Vanecia" was first used and an exact meaning not that it derived from Venice, which to me
doesn't enlighten anyone of a meaning.
I too have a fascination with names, their meanings and origins but
I thought that I would be able to receive a response that I hadn't already gleaned from reading name books.
Thanks
