About Ginevra
Arty and elegant, Ginevra is one of the most popular girls' names in Italy at the moment, ranking at #3 in a recent year. Ultimately from the Arthurian Guinevere, it's a relative of Jennifer, meaning "white wave, white shadow" or "white phantom".
Ginevra is also used as the Italian name for the city of Geneva in Switzerland, and may additionally be associated with the word ginepro meaning "juniper". As such, it ticks plenty of boxes as a historical name, a mythical name, a place name, and a nature name.
Despite its popularity in Italy, it remains a rare choice in the US, given to just 25 girls in a recent year, and as such, it could make an unexpected honor for a family Jennifer. Nicknames Ginny and Gigi add to its appeal.
Pronounced jin-EV-ruh.
As of October 2026, Ginevra ranked #6634 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3390 in 1913.
