Ginebra
A girl's name of Spanish origin with 28 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Ginebra reads as a modern invention — a name that emerged in the 2010s and was likely coined by parents looking for something fresh rather than inherited.
The open, warm quality of its ending — a soft ending that crosses many language boundaries — gives it a distinctive rhythm that pairs well with shorter middle names or surnames.
In the most recent SSA release, Ginebra ranks #9107 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Ginebra is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, the Spanish form of Guinevere — itself from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar meaning 'white phantom' or 'fair and smooth.' As King Arthur's legendary queen, Guinevere's name carries centuries of romantic and literary weight. The Spanish form gives it a Mediterranean fire.
EtymologyShow more
Ginebra appeared in SSA records in 2019, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Spanish roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 28 recorded births, Ginebra has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
