Of Celtic origin, from Gaulish Wenetoi (“the friendly ones, the kinsmen”), from Proto-Celtic *wenetos, a derivation from *wenyā (“kindred”).

name[ˈwɛ.nɛ.tiː]Classical-Latin[ˈvɛː.ne.ti]
  1. Veneti (a tribe of northeastern Italy and Slovenia in antiquity)

    declension-2
Where this word comes from

Of uncertain origin, although generally presumed to be a Venetic endonym. Initial scholarly agreement that the Adriatic Veneti were Illyrian was based on arguments since refuted. They worshipped Belenus and were possibly Celtic or heavily influenced by Celtic culture, despite repeatedly supporting the Romans against the Gauls. If so, the name may share the same derivation as the Armorican one above. Numerous other theories from other substrate languages have also been offered however.
