Commentary
Probably an ā-stem personal name, short or hypocoristic from the base u̯eni- 'family member, friend', see Herbig 1906: 197, n. 2, Danielsson 1909: 18 f., Rhŷs 1913: 58, Pedersen 1921: 41, Lejeune 1971: 62, n. 190, Tibiletti Bruno 1975: 55, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 149, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 175, Pellegrini 1983: 36, Prosdocimi 1991: 160, n. 24, Solinas 1995: 373, Motta 2000: 213, Morandi 2004: 582, Gambari 2019b: 98 f. Negligible Vetter 1927: 12 f., who proposed that uenia was a lexeme 'wife' < PIE *gu̯enih₂ 'woman' with *gu̯ > u̯ as in Latin (also Pisani 1964: 284 f., no. 122), cf. Lejeune 1971: 73 f. and Hamp 1974: 194. McCone 1993: 243–245 interprets uenia as a lexeme (collective) u̯eni-ā 'family, offspring' as in OIr. fine, which is formally possible, though the attestation of a name uenu at Giubiasco supports the analysis of uenia as a personal name (cf. Eska 1995b: 131–134, who notes an attestation of uenia in Turkey [CIL III 6861]; Delamarre 2007: 194 lists uenialo [dat.] in Liguria [CIL V 7713]).
