MEANING & HISTORY
What does Venusto mean?
The Portuguese adjective venusto is defined in Michaelis as very beautiful or very graceful, from Latin venustus. This supplies an exact word reading alongside the separately documented given-name use.
It is not necessary to replace the final o with another spelling to obtain the dictionary sense. As with other adjective names, its linguistic meaning does not make a factual judgment about the appearance or behaviour of the person named.
