Gennavieve is a name of French origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'genan' meaning 'to know', and 'ave' which refers to Eve, the mother of all living in the Bible. The name was popularized during the Middle Ages through the legend of St. Genevieve, a fifth-century patron saint of Paris who protected her city from Attila the Hun. Today, Gennavieve is considered a vintage yet elegant choice for a girl's name.
