• Adiantum capillusveneris — A species of perennial fern in the Pteridaceae family, commonly known as Southern maidenhair fern or Venus's hair, with a subcosmopolitan distribution in temperate, subtropical, and warm tropical regions of the world. The plant grows structurally on moist limestone rocks, cascading fine, bipinnate or tripinnate fronds with glossy-black petioles resembling strands of hair, historically used in traditional medicine and phytotherapy for its demulcent properties.
• Anadyomene — A mythological epithet and iconographic attribute granted to the goddess Aphrodite (Venus), structurally describing her at the moment of her birth as she rises or emerges from the sea foam. This aesthetic and religious concept was immortalized in antiquity by the painter Apelles and masterfully rediscovered during the Renaissance (through masterpieces like Botticelli's The Birth of Venus), representing a universal symbol of pure beauty, regeneration, and ideal plastic perfection.
• Aphrodite — The international and English spelling for Aphrodite; the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility in mythology. In astronomy, it describes a vast highland region (Aphrodite Terra) on the planet Venus, while in biology it represents a specific epithet used for various brightly colored butterfly or insect species.
