The name "Vanessa" can mean butterfly if you look at the Greek origins.

Vanessa does not have Greek Origins

Vanessa is a make up name (click Vanessa for more info). It was LATER used as a name for a genus of butterflies

Thanks, Lala, for stating this. I have heard people say it had something to do with Greek butterflies or some obscure god or goddess, but I've never seen any real evidence for it.
