Vene - name meaning and origin
Hello, I am curious on a grandfathers name - Vene - as to the meaning of the name, and the origin and where I can see this information if possible.
Thank you!!

Could it be related to the phrase Vene vidi vici, "I came, I saw, I conquered"?Array

Where is your grandfather from? I've never heard the name in Finland and I believe that it's not a Finnish name, but in Finnish it means "a boat". :)

Hello.. wow I am very grateful for all these replies. My husbands grandfather is from Michigan and NO one seems to know (he has passed about 20 years ago) what it means, where it came from, etc. I am perplexed. we have chosen this name for our son's middle name and I am now "worried".. and yet not, as now I am just plain wanting to know.
We spoke to his grandmother, whom was married to him, and she says she does not know and she is the big family geneologist. I have yet to come across anyone with the name to simply inquire with the hopes of a true answer.

Question to ADT......I always wanted to ask you about your amusing animated picture! Gotta admit that at first it freaked the bejesus out of me, but it is somehow growing on me. Who is this mad demented woman in the photo?

*Butting in* Margaret/Marguerite PerrinShe was on the American "reality show" Trading Spouses, and has become something of an Internet phenomenon because of her complete batshit insanity.The overview of two episodes which feature her are here: http://snipurl.com/knfs and http://snipurl.com/knfu. Clips of her meltdown can be found all over the Internet, but here's one place to see it (beware the possible adult ads on the sidebar though): http://snipurl.com/knfv. All the quotes in ADT's icon was actually said by Ms. Perrin.The kicker is that, even after all that ranting, the New Age mother of the other family kindly offered to give Perrin the prize money the family had earned. Perrin accepted, and got gastric bypass surgery.
