Venes Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Venice'; an early importation; compare Jannaway and Lombard. Lower quotes, 'Stephen de Venuse, miles,' but gives no reference.
John de Venuz, Essex, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
Leonard de Venetia. Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum in Turri Londinesi.
It is interesting to note that all the above forms exist in Sussex, where the surname has long been established.
1623. Married — Henry Venus and Anne Starte: St. James, Clerkenwell.
1787. — Thomas Venes and Elizabeth Grocal: St. George, Hanover Square.
John Venus, 1745: Blair's History of Alnwick.
It may be added that Venus, representing the goddess of love, became a baptismal name; but far too late to have any influence upon surnames.
1631. Married — John Cotton and Venus Levat: St. Peter, Cornhill.
1756. Buried — Love Venus Rivers: St. Peter, Cornhill.
By Archbishop Peckham's law the minister could have refused to baptize either of the above. 'The minister shall take care not to permit wanton names, which being pronounced do sound to lasciviousness, to be given to children baptized, especially of the female sex; and if otherwise it be done, the same shall be changed by the bishop at confirmation.'
(Anglo-French-Latin) One from Venice, Ital. Venezia, Latin Venetia [from the people-name Veneti, whowere poss. named from the colour of their costume— Latin venetus, bluish] Leonard de Venetia.—Close Rolls.
De Venuse occurs as a surname, 31. Edw. I.-Steph. de Venuse miles. This name, by the suppression of the territorial de, and the final e, would become identical with the designation of the goddess of beauty. The locality of Venuse is unknown.
As an English surname, doubtless the same as Veness, and the IT. S. names Winas and Winaus; perhaps from Venice. Under "Venus," Lower says, "De Venuse occurs as a surname, 31 Edw. I. —Step. de Venuse miles." Ferguson thinks Venus may be from the surname Venn and house, or ness, a promontory.
