Geneveeve Origin and Meaning

The name Geneveeve is a girl's name.

Geneveeve appears to be a variant spelling of Genevieve, a feminine name of medieval French origin derived from the Germanic name Genovefa, possibly meaning 'woman of the race' or 'tribe woman.' This alternative spelling adds an extra 'e', creating a more elaborate visual impression while maintaining the same pronunciation. Geneveeve carries the same elegant, romantic associations as Genevieve, evoking the patron saint of Paris. This uncommon spelling variant is quite rare, likely representing a modern adaptation of the traditional name. The name has a graceful, flowing quality with its four syllables and soft consonants. Geneveeve offers parents a way to honor the classic name while providing their child with a more distinctive spelling, though it may require occasional clarification due to its uncommon form.
