About the name Venice
Venice belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Venice first appears in Social Security records in 1895. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #941 in 1921, and in 2024 38 babies received the name — 2,922 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
