Vanessa is of English,Italian,German and Dutch background. Was invented by author Jonathan Swift for his poem Cadenus and Vanessa (1726). He arrived at it by rearranging the first name and surname of Easther Vanhomrigh a close friend of his. The name was later used to describe a breed of butterfly and was a rae name till it became popular around the mid- 20th century.

Christian is based in English, French, German and Scandanavian. Originally from the Medieval Latin Christianus meaning "a christian". Has been in use in England since the middle ages and Denmark has had 10 kings named this since the 15th century.

I have 2 cousins named christian and I have always liked the name vanessa :)
christian comes from the ancient greek word "christ貌s", which means "oiled" in fact people who had been given by god a special missione used to be oiled.

it recalls "strength", as, before the fight, fighters' muscles were covered by oil.



vanessa means butterfly in ancient grreek, but as a name it's recent: it was created by the writer Jonathan Swift for the main character of the short poem Cadenus and Vanessa,1712.

The name Vanessa was invented by the Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift for Esther Vanhomrigh, whom Swift had met in 1708 and whom he tutored. The name was created by taking "Van" from Vanhomrigh's last name and adding "Essa", the pet form of Esther. Swift may have also derived the name from the ancient mystic goddess Phanessa.

Vanessa has been adopted later as the name of a genus of butterfly.
