Geneva

Geneva is a French name derived from the name of the city of Geneva in Switzerland. The city's name is thought to come from the Celtic word 'genava', meaning 'estuary'.

The name Geneva has been in use since the Middle Ages, and it gained popularity in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation, as Geneva was a prominent center of Calvinism and the birthplace of the Geneva Bible.

While the name does not have a direct meaning, it is often associated with ideas of sophistication, culture, and refinement, as the city of Geneva is known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and as a center of international diplomacy.

Geneva is primarily used as a feminine name in English-speaking countries, though it is also occasionally used as a masculine name in some cultures.
