Uncertain but probably from modification of Byzantine Greek Βενετικός (Benetikós, “Venetian”) and Βενέτζια (Benétzia, “Venice”) and/or Venetian venedego under influence from بُنْدُق (bunduq, “pebble, bullet, hazelnut”) and ـِيَّة (-iyya, “-ia”), a variant of Ancient Greek Ἐνετικός (Enetikós, “Venetian, Venetic, Enetic”) under influence from Latin veneticus (“Venetic, Venetian”), both of uncertain origin but generally assumed to derive from a Venetic endonym.
