Aenea is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'aeneus', meaning bronze or copper. It was popular among ancient Romans and is often associated with the goddess Venus Aenea, who was believed to protect metalworkers. In literature, it gained some recognition through C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, where a character named Aenea features prominently. Today, it remains an uncommon yet intriguing choice for a first name.
"Aenea saw a spike in popularity with 7 births in 2013, followed by a dip, then another rise with 5 births each in 2016 and 2022, totalling 17 births over these years."
