Vinessa is a feminine name that's as light and lovely as a butterfly's dance. It was first brought to life by author Jonathan Swift, who combined elements of his lover's name, Esther Vanhomrigh. And so, the English moniker Vanessa, meaning "butterfly," was born. Some notable bearers include Hocus Pocus actress Vinessa Shaw and Italian gymnast Vanessa Ferrari. Baby will love their name's unique spelling and message of beauty, transformation, and the freedom to choose your own destiny!
