Geny is in Origin.
Geny is a compact, cross-cultural diminutive now sometimes used independently. It most often shortens Greek-derived Eugenia/Eugenio or Eugene (from eugenes, "well-born; noble"). In other settings it clips Genevieve (commonly parsed as "kin/tribe woman") or functions as a streamlined spelling of Jenny. Accordingly, the name’s sense depends on the root: noble; kin/tribe woman; or, via Jenny/Jennifer, the Welsh line meaning "white/fair."
Attested through the 20th century, Geny appears in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries and the Philippines as a unisex nickname - famously borne by Filipino media executive Eugenio "Geny" Lopez Jr. - and occurs sporadically in France (also Gény). Variants and related forms include Genny, Jenny, Geni, Genie, Genni, and Gen; longer bases are Eugene, Eugenia, Eugenio, Genevieve, Jennifer, and Gene.
