Aeneas m
British (rare): from the Latin name of the Trojan hero who, according to classical legend, fled after the sack of Troy and sailed eventually to Italy, where he founded the Roman state. This, in essence, is the subject of Virgil's Aeneid. The name is of unknown derivation; it appears in Homer as Aineas, and was associated by the Romans themselves with Greek ainein to praise. As a given name, it used to be quite common in Scotland as an Anglicized form of Gaelic AONGHAS (SEE Aonghas), and in Ireland as an Anglicized form of Gaelic Éigneachán, a personal name representing a diminutive of éigneach violent fate or death.
