Ginebra
Ginebra Origin and Meaning
Ginebra is a feminine name of Spanish origin, representing the Spanish form of 'Geneva.' The name derives from the Latin 'Genava,' which was the name of the Swiss city. However, Ginebra also has connections to Arthurian legend, as it is the Spanish version of Guinevere, King Arthur's queen. In Spanish-speaking countries, the name carries the additional association with 'ginebra,' the Spanish word for gin or juniper. With its melodic three-syllable pronunciation (hee-NEH-bra), the name has an elegant, romantic quality typical of Spanish feminine names. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Ginebra offers cross-cultural appeal with its rich historical connections and lyrical sound, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a name with Spanish flair.
