Meaning & origin

Venise is a rare and distinctive name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1942. Its greatest popularity came in 1960, the peak year, though it has never ranked among the top 1000 names. The trajectory has been stable in recent decades, with very few births per year. The name's exact number of bearers per million is unavailable due to its rarity, but it has never exceeded the threshold for a top 1000 ranking.

Venise is a name of uncertain origin. It may derive from the city of Venice, Italy (Italian Venezia), or be a variant of the name Venus, the Roman goddess of love. The name has seen occasional use in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century, possibly as a place name or a creative variant.
