What is the meaning of the name Geni ?

The baby name Geni is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JEE-nee (ˈdʒiːni); also JEN-ee (ˈdʒɛni).

Geni is in Origin.

Geni is a streamlined diminutive used in several languages, most commonly as a short form of Eugenia/Eugénia or Eugénie, from Greek eugenēs “well-born, noble.” It can also contract Genevieve in English and French, with probable Gaulish-Germanic roots meaning “woman of the kin/tribe,” and in contemporary Spanish may be clipped from Génesis “beginning.” As an independent given name, Geni reads brisk and modern while retaining the refined associations of its sources.

The name appears sporadically in 20th-century records across Iberian and Latin American countries - especially Brazil - and remains rare in the English-speaking world. Variant spellings and related diminutives include Genie, Geny, and Genny; longer forms are Eugenia, Eugénie, Genevieve, and Génesis. Because multiple roots feed into Geni, its meaning is usually taken from the parent name chosen: “well-born, noble,” “woman of the kin/tribe,” or “beginning.”
