Jonathan Swift created the name, Vanessa, as a poetic title for Esther Vanhomrigh, a combination of her last name (Van) and her nickname (Hessy). The first use of Vanessa in print is a 1713 poem entitled "Cadenus and Vanessa," in which Vanessa is described as having all of the charms of Venus and Minerva (Pallas). Vanessa is therefore incredibly beautiful (though Pallas mistakes her for a boy), brilliant in mind, wise and virtuous, ignites desire in others, and is herself a flame. In the poem, she seduces her mentor, so teachers should beware Vanessas.

Contrary to popular belief, Vanessa is not Greek, nor Latin--it has been used to describe a species of butterfly, but does not itself mean butterfly in either of these languages.
"That scholars would forsake their books,

To study bright Vanessa's looks;

As she advanced, that womankind

Would by her model form their mind"

A beautiful name for a beautiful person. It means butterfly and has several similarities with it. Vanessa's are delicate and kind, they're naturally blessed with everything good and always try to make the world a nicer, prettier place.

Guy: "Hey that fits, you're always making the world more gorgeous everyday"

A fun, stupid, and crazy girl who is very beautiful. She's into music and loves talking her heart out. So many people tease her though but she doesn't care. Vanessa is a care-free person. Most likely to be American, Puerto Rican, Mexican, or Filipino. Vanessa's are known to be average height. Boys like her because of her fun personality. Most people want to be friends with her. Vanessas' like to dance and do many activities. They are very pretty and cute. Very sassy also. Means butterfly in Greek.
Boy- Vanessa is sooo pretty

Girl- Ik I wish she was my friend.

A girl who is overlooked by others, someone who is very special but is much too often taken for granted. An amazing girl who is incredibly beautiful on the inside and out. A person who is extremely sensitive, even in a comfortable environment. Although very friendly and sociable, Vanessa can be shy and apprehensive. A person who comes once in a lifetime, that will change who you are as a person forever. Someone who you should never let go, if you do you will regret it.
"You have an incredible girlfriend, Vanessa is one you should never let go. She is amazing, you are very lucky to have her."
