Jennifer is an attractive female given name, of Welsh origin, derived from the name Gwendolen, which means 'white wave' or 'fair one'. It became popular in English-speaking countries during the 20th century, notably after the release of the film 'Gone with the Wind', where Jennifer Jones played the lead role.
"The name Jennifer became quite popular during the late 1960s to mid-1970s, with a peak of 38 births in 1975. However, it began to decline afterwards, reaching a low of 5 births in 1993."
