Genessis is English, Greek in Origin.

Genessis is a modern respelling of Genesis, a name drawn from Greek génesis (γένεσις) via Latin, meaning "origin," "birth," or "beginning." The title of the Bible's first book supplies enduring religious and literary associations with creation, first causes, and new starts, making the name emblematic of promise and renewal.

As a given name, Genesis entered wider use in the late 20th century and surged in the 1990s-2000s, especially in the United States; Genessis appears as a less common, creative variant. The name is unisex but currently skews feminine in many English-speaking contexts and is also used in Spanish as Génesis. Common variants and phonetic spellings include Genesis, Génesis, Genisis, Jenesis, and Jenessis. Parents drawn to its meaning often choose Genessis for its distinctive look while retaining the same symbolism. Nicknames sometimes used are Geni/Genny and Ness/Nessa.
