could anyone give me the origin of the surname Wenerowicz and its meaning. I would appreciate any help you can give.

hmm - I think it must have something to do with the word "weneryczny" or "weneryczna" which in Polish means "venereal" (like "venereal disease").

What a sad answer. It might be connected as well with a name of famous lake in Sweden "Vänern". Beacuse the end of the surname "-owicz" soudns like from east part of Poland it's possible that it begins in XVII century during the wars with Sweden (Swedish Flood).

Protoplasta-I want to thank-you for giving me some kinda of hope that possibly there was another meaning. I was quite shocked when I read the first answer. I know that my grandfather came from a village located around the Torun area, also know that there are still some Wenerowicz's in Poland. Thanks once again

I think the end of a surname: "-owicz" suggest an Ukrainian relation, not necessarily Polish (most "original" Polish surnames end "-ski" or "cki").

Even though you were shocked, "pawel's" interpretation does makes a lot of sense...

I am a Wenerowicz. Who is asking? All of us here in the USA are blood related.

Wasn't aware that all Wenerowicz's here in the states are blood related. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MY GRANDFATHER AND HIS TWO NEPHEWS WERE THE ONLY ONES TO COME FROM POLAND.
