Genevre Origin and Meaning

The name Genevre is a girl's name.

Genevre is a rare feminine name with possible connections to several linguistic roots. It likely represents a variant spelling of Genevieve, which derives from the Germanic name Genovefa, meaning 'woman of the race' or 'tribal woman.' Another possibility is its connection to the French word 'genièvre,' meaning juniper. The name may also be related to Guinevere (from Welsh Gwenhwyfar), the legendary queen in Arthurian tales. Genevre remains extremely uncommon in modern usage, with very few documented bearers worldwide. Its unusual spelling gives it an antique, romantic quality that might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical echoes and European flair. Despite its rarity, it maintains an elegant, feminine sound.
