Where does the name Geneva come from?
Geneva is possibly a shortened form of Genevieve, says Behind the Name, though it could also be inspired by the name of the city in Switzerland. It has been used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the 19th century. Wikipedia gives another reading, that it is a Germanic name meaning “juniper tree”.
Other forms of Geneva
Behind the Name lists Neva as a diminutive of Geneva. Gen and Genny also work, though the sources do not list those, and Genevieve is the longer name it may come from.
Well-known Genevas
Geneva Overholser is an American journalist. Wikipedia says she was editor of The Des Moines Register when the paper won a Pulitzer Gold Medal for Public Service, and she was the ombudsman for The Washington Post from 1995 to 1998. She later led the USC Annenberg School of Journalism from 2008 to 2013.
Geneva’s popularity
Geneva was a favorite between the world wars. US Social Security data has it at 118th in the 1910s, 113th in the 1920s, when more than 23,200 American girls were named Geneva, and 146th in the 1930s. It first entered the top 200 in the 1900s.
A few more things about Geneva
The Swiss city lent its name to the rules of war. Wikipedia says the Geneva Conventions are four international treaties from 1949, with three additional protocols, that form the core of international humanitarian law and protect civilians, prisoners of war and the wounded. Geneva is also home to the International Committee of the Red Cross and many United Nations agencies.
