Genisis

Genisis is an alternative spelling of Genesis, a name of Greek origin meaning 'beginning,' 'creation,' or 'birth.' This feminine variation emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique spellings of biblical names. While Genesis (the traditional spelling) refers to the first book of the Bible and has gained moderate popularity since the 1990s, Genisis remains significantly less common. The altered spelling gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the profound meaning of origin and new beginnings. The name suggests potential and possibility, making it appealing to parents who want to convey the special new chapter that begins with their child's birth.

Pronounced juh-NIS-is.
