Maybe a hypochorism of a compound of ''veni-'' like {{w||uenu}}. Previous interpretations of this form as a vocative are dubious. Cf. Gaul. ''ουευιτοουτα'', ''Venicarus'', ''Venimarus'', ''Vennus'', Ogam ''annveni'', OIr. ''fine'' meaning "family" ({{bib|Lejeune 1971}}: 51, fn. 126, 62, fn. 190, 74, {{bib|Hamp 1974}}: 14, {{bib|Motta 2000}}: 213, {{bib|RIIG}} [https://riig.huma-num.fr/documents/BDR-13-01 BDR-13-01] ({{bib|RIG}} G-106) ''ουενιτοουτα'', {{bib|Holder 1896-1907}}: III168-173, {{bib|CIIC}} 214, {{bib|KGP}}: 289-290, {{bib|GPN}}: 277-279, {{bib|DLG}}: 313, {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 194, 195, 235-6, {{bib|McCone 1996}}: 105, {{bib|Matasović 2009}}: 413-4, {{bib|De Bernardo Stempel 1999}}: 371, {{bib|IEW}}: 1147, {{bib|Stüber 2005}}: 63, 91, {{bib|De Vaan 2008}}: 661).

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]).
