What does Venetia mean?

[ 3 syll. ve-ne-tia, ven-et-ia ] The baby girl name Venetia is pronounced as Vah-NIY-SHaa †. Venetia is primarily used in the English language, and its language of origin is Welsh and Latin.

Her premature death at the age of 33 immortalized her in various literary works by poets such as Ben Jonson. The name was later popularized by Benjamin Disraeli's novel Venetia (1837).
