Geanine is a unique and elegant female given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Gaius', which means 'to rejoice'. It was traditionally used as a feminine form of Gaius in ancient Rome. The name Geanine has gained popularity over time due to its distinctiveness and appealing sound. It is composed of three syllables: 'Ge-a-ni-ne', offering a pleasant rhythm when spoken aloud. While not as widely recognized as some other names, it possesses a certain charm that sets it apart. As with many unique names, Geanine can be shortened to familiar forms such as Gina or Jean for everyday use.
"Geanine was a popular name for newborns during the mid-20th century, with a notable peak of 13 births in 1964. However, its popularity waned by the late 1970s and early 1980s, with fewer than 10 births each year from 1975 onwards. The total number of newborn girls named Geanine over this period was 146."
