History and Origin
Genevieve (French: Geneviève) is a female given name of Celtic or Germanic origin. It may be from the Germanic name Genowefa (latinized as Genoveva) meaning woman of the race.
French: the name of the patron saint of Paris, a 5th-century Gallo-Roman nun who encouraged the people of Paris in the face of the occupation of the town by the Franks and threatened attacks by the Huns. Her name seems to have been composed of Celtic elements meaning ‘people, tribe’ and ‘woman’, but if so it has been heavily altered by its transmission through French sources. The name was introduced to Britain from France in the 19th century.
