Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Fair one; White waves

If baby is the fairest of them all, then give them a name to match—and leave the mirrors at home! Jenni is a charming feminine name of Welsh origin. A shortened version of Jennifer and deriving from Guinevere, or Gwenhwyfar, Jenni means “fair one” and “white waves.” While one might associate white waves with rough waters, there is still something endlessly beautiful about the ocean in this state. It also goes to show that nature can be both graceful and forceful, much like a person. This valuable lesson will surely teach baby Jen that they can encompass all the dualities of the sea, and be whatever they want to be.
