Jennavieve Origin and Meaning

The name Jennavieve is a girl's name.

Jennavieve is a feminine name that represents a modern elaboration of Genevieve, which derives from the Germanic name Genovefa, possibly meaning 'woman of the race' or 'tribe woman.' This contemporary spelling variation combines elements of 'Jenna' with the classic 'Genevieve,' creating a longer, more elaborate option that maintains the romantic feel of the original. While the traditional Genevieve has medieval French associations and historical significance, Jennavieve offers a fresher alternative with the popular 'Jenn-' beginning familiar from Jennifer and Jenna. Though relatively uncommon in official records, Jennavieve has gained some traction among parents seeking distinctive names with established roots. The name conveys both elegance and accessibility.
