Latin form of the Greek name Aineias (from the Greek meaning "to praise"). The name was borne in Greek mythology by the hero of the Roman poet Virgil's epic Aeneid. Aeneas, the Trojan son of Anchises and Venus, wandered for years after escaping from the ruined city of Troy.
An Aeneas was also healed by Peter in the Old Testament.
