Meaning & Origin

Giner is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, the Spanish form of Geneviève or Janira — from the Catalan Giner or the medieval Spanish form of January (enero), giving the name a connection to the new year, beginnings, and renewal. It's used in Valencian and Catalan communities as a traditional given name.

Warm and slightly exotic to English ears, Giner has the depth of a regional Spanish name that hasn't yet traveled far from its cultural home — which makes it genuinely interesting.
