Embrace baby’s old soul with a classic name like Ginevra. A feminine name of Italian and Welsh origins, Ginevra comes from the original spelling Gwenhwyfar, and translates to “fair one.” If you want baby to have a more spooky, mythical name, it also means “white fairy” or “white phantom,” giving your bundle of joy an ethereal edge. If you’re a nerd for Rennaissance art, baby can also share the name with one of da Vinci’s classic paintings, Ginevra de' Benci, making baby’s name just as timeless and distinguished.
