Toponymy
Saint Venant (Saint Venance Fortunat), a man of letters from Italy, 25th bishop of Poitiers, who died at the very beginning of the 6th century, is said to be the origin of the name of the commune. However, it is also possible that it comes from the Latin word "Venantisaltus", meaning "Wooded gorge".
Despite these hypotheses, the radical of the name is rare and unique in the region. Only one commune in France seems to share it : Venanson in the Alpes-Maritimes. There is also commune called Saint-Venant in Pas-de-Calais, and Saint-Venant-de-Paquette in Quebec which are said to have their orignins in a holy hermit named "Venatius" (Venant)
