Meaning & Origin
A taxonomic genus within the family Veneridae – typical venus clams.
Venus is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin origin, the name of the ancient Roman goddess of love, beauty, and desire, from a Proto-Italic root possibly related to venus (desire, charm). Venus was the mother of Aeneas and the patron of Rome — the most beautiful goddess in the pantheon.
In modern times, Venus Williams has made the name synonymous with athletic excellence and regal confidence. Nearly 9,860 U.S. births are recorded. Choosing Venus is choosing a name that radiates beauty and power simultaneously.
