Genesis Origin and Meaning
The name Genesis is a boy's name of English origin.
Though Genesis is a Top 100 girls' name in the US, it's by all rights a unisex choice.
Derived from Greek, it means "birth" or "origin", making it a word name and a Biblical name,
Genesis also shares sounds with other unisex and masculine options, such as Alexis, Otis, Reese, Silas, and Ellis. It is therefore given to a not insubstantial 200 boys each year.
Outside of US, where Genesis is far less popular and rarely heard, it could make a cool and untraditional option for those wanting to celebrate the Bible, those who like the rock band, or anyone hoping for a new beginning.
