Venanzio

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Italian

Meaning: Hunt, chase, pursue

Venanzio is a name usually borne by boys. Though undeniably Italian in sound, it's actually borrowed from Venantius, a name inspired by the Latin words venans and venor. The name means to "hunt," "chase," or "pursue," and parents with a pampered and persistent little one on their hands have only two options if they choose this charming title: baby's way or the highway!
