Oh! that reminds me. I was browsing in the Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names (sadly out of print) in the reference section of the library. You probably know this already, but the dictionary said that Venetia is likely a Latinization of Gwyneth, and mentioned Sir Kenelm Digby's wife as a notable bearer of it and possible contributor to its popularity.
