Ginebra is Spanish in Origin.

Ginebra is the Spanish (and Catalan) form of Guinevere, ultimately from Welsh Gwenhwyfar. From gwen “white, fair, blessed” + hwyfar “smooth, phantom/spirit,” it conveys “white/fair phantom” or “blessed, shining one.” In Spanish, ginebra also means “gin” and is the exonym for Geneva, which lends modern, place‑name overtones. The name fits Spanish phonology smoothly (hee-NEH-brah), balancing medieval romance with contemporary rhythm.

Carried into Iberian languages by medieval Arthurian romances, Ginebra names King Arthur’s queen in Spanish texts from the 13th century onward. Rare today but revived by interest in legend and vintage Jennifer-related names, it occurs sporadically in Spain and Latin America, especially among literary-minded parents. Variants and cognates include Guinevere (English), Gwenhwyfar (Welsh), Ginevra/Genevra (Italian), Guenevere (older English), and Geneva (English). Short forms such as Gine and Gin appear in casual use.
