Jennafer
Meaning of Jennafer
Jennafer functions as an orthographic variant of the feminine given name Jennifer, whose etymological roots extend to the Middle Cornish form of the Welsh Gwenhwyfar—etymonologically rendered as “white phantom” or “white wave.” From an onomastic standpoint within the United States, Jennafer has occupied a peripheral yet persistent position since the mid-1960s: initial registrations (N=5; rank 776 in 1964) gave way to a modest crest in the mid-1980s (N=81; rank 718 in 1985), followed by a protracted descent culminating in N=9 (rank 953) by 2009. Phonetically realized as /ˈdʒɛnəfər/, this name conveys both a subdued link to Arthurian legend and a contemporary predilection for individualized orthographic expression.
