About Ventura
Ventura started life as a shortening of Bonaventura, Spanish for good luck or good fortune, but now stands on its own. It has a pleasant sound and the stylish 'V' ending, but Angelenos would associate it with the Valley's main stem--Ventura Boulevard, and others might think of Ace or Jesse Ventura.
Pronounced ven-TUR-uh.
As of October 2026, Ventura ranked #9780 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #1435 in 1938.
Editor's take: The name Ventura is a boy's name meaning "good fortune".
