Janevra

Janevra is an uncommon feminine name that appears to blend elements of 'Jane' with names like Geneva or Genevra. It may have roots in the Italian name Ginevra, which is the Italian form of Guinevere (of Arthurian legend fame), meaning 'fair and smooth.' The name has a romantic, somewhat medieval sound with its three syllables and melodic flow. Janevra is quite rare in usage, making it an attractive option for parents seeking something distinctive yet with familiar elements. The name carries an elegant, almost literary quality that suggests refinement while remaining accessible through its connection to the more familiar Jane.

Pronounced juh-NEV-ruh.
