About Gennie
Gennie, meaning "woman of the tribe" or "woman of the family" in Welsh, is a charming diminutive of Genevieve. This name evokes a sense of community and belonging, encouraging your little one to connect with her family and roots.
Alternatively, Gennie can be traced back to Cornish origins as a variant of Gwenhwÿfar. This name is composed of two elements: "gwindos" meaning "white" or "fair" and "seibrā (hwyfar)" meaning "phantom" or "spirit," resulting in the meaning "white phantom" or "white spirit." In Arthurian legend, Gwenhwÿfar was the beloved wife of King Arthur.
Over time, Gennie has also become a variant of Jenny and other names containing the element "gen." It has gained popularity as a standalone name, inspiring images of ocean waves or ethereal spirits.
