"Ást" means love in Icelandic. Makes sense for the name to be an "ancestor" (so to speak) of Venus. The 'Á' is pronounced like the 'O' in "owl".

Sorry. I just can't get the dog association out of my head. And I think Asta was a male dog, too, although it's been a while since I saw any of the Thin Man movies.
Asta Says:
I read in a very old English legends-book at an English-colonial school around 1968 that Asta was the very first name of the goddess of love (before the Greeks', and even before the Phoenicians' civilizations). It later became Astrada, then Aprorodite, then Venus. Also that Asta was one of the very first known names in civilization.
