Jennafer is a modern variant spelling of Jennifer, the English form of the Cornish name (attested as Jenefer/Jenifer), ultimately from Welsh Gwenhwyfar, better known via the Arthurian Guinevere. The elements are gwen "white, fair, blessed" + hwyfar, often interpreted as "smooth, soft" and sometimes folk-glossed as "phantom/spirit," yielding meanings like "fair/white one" or "white wave."

Jennifer spread beyond Cornwall in the 19th century, was popularized by George Bernard Shaw’s The Doctor’s Dilemma (1906), and dominated Anglophone baby-name charts in the 1970s-80s. In the United States it ranked at or near number one throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, with sustained use in Britain, Canada, and Australia. Jennafer emerged in late-20th-century English as a distinctive respelling that foregrounds the nickname Jenna while retaining familiar sound.
