[EN] On the peoples named «Venetic», or with a name akin to this, in Western Europe.
Review of the data concerning ethnical groups with the name *wenetó-, the distribution of which has suggested the hypothesis of a wide «pan-Venetic» migration, parallel to the late Bronze age cultures called «Lusatian» or presumably derived from them : Enetoi of Paphlagonia, Veneti of Central and Eastern Europe, Italy (included the Venetulani), Gaul. But, besides the fact that the progressing research makes hazardous any demonstration of this kind, it exists variants, as yet disregarded (Venelli of the Cotentin, Alpine Veneni, Venisami, etc.), which require a more refined approach of the problem : this root, and therefore the nominal formation *wenetó-, could have produced separately these semantically gratifying people-names («conquerors» or «relatives, companions») in the «paleo-European» area. The name Germani, spread among several regions of Europe, provides a parallel item to these recurrent denominations.
