...I find this book very useful and seems to give a clearer
meaning than someone telling everyone that a name is either
a female or male form or that it comes from a city to me this
is an easy way out of not researching something and the meanings
of names I am sure that the author has researched.

---

Yes, granted the name of the book is a bit lame but the author is
an expert in her field and was at the time of the publishing of this
book the Australian representative of the worldwide Names Society.

I think that I would trust her interpretation more than yours
knowing a language doesn't automatically make you an expert.

---

Also, the name is "Vanecia" not Venetia as you and others keep
trying to say that it is, as per my first message, after doing a
Google.com search I found that this name has been used in America
for at least 90 years. So I thought there maybe someone out there
who knew an origin other than passing it off as from Venice and
the true meaning, not speculate because it sounds like Venice.

---

Because I know for a fact that my Grandmother wasn't thinking of
Venice when my Mother was born.
