Geneveeve

US Popularity Rank: None

Meaning: White fay, white phantom, white spirit; Family, kin; Woman, wife

Inspired by the renowned French Geneviève, Geneveeve offers an alternative spelling to stand out from the rest. This feminine name branches from several roots. Its link to Celtic Gwenhwÿfar lends Geneveeve the ethereal meaning “white fay,” “white phantom,” or “white spirit” for the baby who is simply out of this world. It may also stem from another Celtic root meaning “kin,” as well as the possibly Germanic Genovefa, meaning “wife,” “woman,” and “family.” Steeped in whimsy and wonder, Geneveeve is full of otherworldly appeal while honoring the loved ones who keep your little sprite grounded.
