Meaning & Origins
The name of the patron saint of Paris, Geneviève in French. She was a 5th-century Gallo-Roman nun who encouraged the people of Paris in the face of the occupation of the city by the Franks and threatened attacks by the Huns. Her name is probably derived from Celtic words meaning ‘people, tribe’ and ‘woman’, but if so it has been heavily altered during its transmission through French sources. The name was introduced to Britain from France in the 19th century and is now in steady use.
