The people Véneto had its origins in Asia.
This old Indo-European people takes its blood and its names (for example "Vindhia", "Véneto", "Venice") for the most varied lands.
In the antiquity they were moving toward Europe and they settled down in the North of Turkey, in Western Greece, in Yugoslavia and in oriental Italy (all these already mentioned by Herodoto). They also settled down in the territory located between the Black and Baltic Sea and between the territory of the present Poland and the river Dneper in White Russia and Ukraine; as that it registered in their history "Roman et Getica", Jordanes in the 400 A. D. This author mentions in his work that the venetos of the Dacia (current Rumania) they were known with three names: venetos; antis and esclavinos (that were changing his names according the tribe of ownership or to his territories). Until the Middle Ages the Central Europe between the Baltic and the Adriatic; takes for name "Venedonia", the Gulf of Danzig well-knowed as Gulf Veneto (Venedicus Sinus), the Italian Oriental Alps were known as Alpes Venetos (Alpes Venetoe) and the lands to the south of these "Venetia", today Veneto and its capital "Venetia" still well-known as Venice. The tribe that lived here was famous as breeder of horses. Their language, the Veneto, is conserved in more than 200 inscriptions discovered by archaeologists, and they date of the V to I b. C. and they are based in the etrusc alphabet .
There were also establishments Venetos in Cirenaica (N. of Africa) and in Armorica (French Britain), this one was characterized by their seafaring character and ended under Celtic influences , they are baptized the islands in front of Britain like Veneticas Islands and they were defeated by Julio Cesar in the 56 b. C. in a naval battle and their people sold as slave.
As for the name`s reiteration along the routes of commercial displacement the tribes of this ethnic, we have several examples of that : the mounts "Vindhia" along the river Narbada (India), "Mount of the Vindi" ("Vindorum Montis") in Pola (Eslovenia) and "Vintian Mounts" in Istria. Or the name "Altin" as the Altin Thag (mountainous chain between Mongolia and India) and "Altin" (that was the first name of the original establishment of Venice) in the Italian Veneto. Another recurrent name is "Heraclea", as the name of the progenitor of Venice; the venetos of the Paflagonia (named by Homero in the Iliada) they called themselves "Heracleos", there is also several "Heracleas" along the commercial routes that united to the venetos of the Black Sea and the Epiro with those of the Adriatic and Armorica; for example in the vicinities of Instambul, in the gulf of Amurakia, in Sicily, in the Dardanelles and until in the island in front of the Bristol channel in Great Britain.
Today the "diaspora" veneta has arrived to territories like North America , the distant Australia and in the south of America in Argentina and especially Brazil, where in the states of the south it is common to see cities like "Nova Vicenza", "Nova Bassano" etc. following the tradition of this people of baptizing with its names, or with the names of the places left to the new locations..
