About Guenevere
Guenevere is a feminine name of Welsh origin, representing an alternative spelling of Guinevere, the legendary queen and wife of King Arthur in medieval literature. Derived from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, which combines elements meaning 'white' (gwen) and 'smooth, soft' or 'phantom, spirit' (hwyfar). The name carries rich associations with Arthurian legend, romance, and medieval chivalry. Though never common in modern usage, Guenevere maintains an air of ethereal elegance and literary sophistication. This spelling variation gives the classic name a slightly French flavor while preserving its Celtic roots and regal connotations.
Pronounced GWEN-uh-veer.
As of October 2026, Guenevere ranked #11732 in US births in 2019 SSA, peaked at #4179 in 1971.
