Vanus is a unique, distinct name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Vanas.' It is composed of two elements: 'van,' which means 'of' in Latin, and '-as,' an adjectival suffix signifying 'belonging to' or 'relating to.' Thus, Vanus could be interpreted as 'belonging to Vane' or 'relating to Van.' This name offers a blend of familiarity and individuality, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking something uncommon yet approachable.
The name Vanus was quite uncommon, with only five births recorded in total across all years and a single peak of popularity in 1931 when it was given to five newborns.
