Veninga Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The Veninga surname derives from two words:

Van, meaning 'by' or 'from'. This implies the latter part of the name comes from the former, like how son or dottir in some Nordic surnames implies that the owner is the child of someone else.

Yngvi, an old name for the Norse god Freyr. Other old names include Ing, Yng, Inge, Ynge, Inga, Ynga, Ingwin, Yngwin, Yngve, and Yngwi.

Combining these two meanings together, as well as following old naming traditions for the early worshipers of the god Yngvi, we can take the modern name Veninga to possibly mean 'child of Yngvi', 'child of Freyr'.
