Venus in family history has a few different origins depending on area
In Germanic language can represent vogel meaning bird ,
In Frence comes of area Venoix in Calvados being normanic,
Venus is of venu in latin a child born in the astrological rising of venus
then in greek being of the daughter of Zeus
but if u go to a library and consult an Etyptomogical or Heraldric index volume one may have more clues....
tis a tricky one cos it was probably a psuedo name at the time it was first used....
I do have in the Simmonite family a series of children named after various parts of astrological ..... turns out the father was heavily involved in that area writing and teaching the subject.... so humour was bestowed upon his offspring much as the hippie did in the 1960s
