Jenifer is a feminine name, representing an alternative spelling of the more common Jennifer. Both derive from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, meaning 'white wave' or 'fair spirit.' This variation with a single 'n' maintains the same pronunciation while offering a slightly distinctive written form. Jennifer became extraordinarily popular in English-speaking countries during the 1970s, largely due to the character Jennifer Cavalleri in the novel and film 'Love Story.' The Jenifer spelling, while less common, allows for connection to this familiar name while providing a subtle differentiation. Though Jennifer has declined from its peak popularity, both spellings continue to be used, with Jenifer offering a more uncommon option that still carries the name's friendly, approachable associations.
