Jenevieve
Meaning of Jenevieve
The name Jenevieve is a beautiful and unique choice for a baby girl, pronounced as juh-NEH-veev (/dʒəˈnɛ.vi:v/). It is a variation of the more commonly known Genevieve, which has French origins meaning "tribe woman" or "woman of the race." This elegant name carries historical significance, often associated with Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. While not as widely used as its counterpart, Jenevieve has seen steady but modest popularity in the United States over the years. Its usage dates back to at least 1914, with occasional spikes in occurrence.
