Vonnessa

Vonnessa is a feminine name that’s a fun spin on Vanessa. While it may be a classic moniker now, Vanessa was actually invented by writer Jonathon Swift. It was a nickname he created for his friend, Esther Van Homrigh, as a blend of Van, meaning “of” in Dutch, and Esther, meaning “star” in Persian. It’s now a super-popular name in the U.S. and may just inspire your little one to be a trend-setter in the future, too. For an extra touch, Vonnessa may also have links to the name of the genus of butterflies, which includes red admirals, painted ladies, and other fluttering beauties. Baby’s confidence is sure to fly high with a name like Vonnessa encouraging them.
