Genise, of Latin origin, is an elegant and unique feminine given name. It's derived from the Latin word 'genius', which means 'spirit' or 'guardian spirit'. This name offers a fresh alternative to more traditional names while still carrying a rich historical significance.
The name Genise experienced a significant surge in popularity from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, with a peak of 39 births in 1960. However, its usage declined rapidly thereafter, dropping below an average of one birth per year by the late 1980s. Since then, it has remained relatively uncommon, with occasional fluctuations between five and fifteen births per year.
