Name Translation!

Sep 24, 2005 10:39

Jennifer is a Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwynhwyfar. In English, we also know this name as Guenivere, King Arthur's queen. It has never been translated into Irish. However, it it made up from elements meaning "white; blessed; holy" and "smooth." Fionnait is an Irish name meaning "white." This could be used as a semi-translation of Jennifer. Jennifer is often (inaccurately) listed as meaning "white wave" in many baby name books.

THAT IS SO COOL!!!! I NOW OFFICIALLY LOVE MY FIRST NAME!!!
