Jenafer
Meaning of Jenafer
Jenafer is a sun-kissed twist on the classic Jennifer, tracing its roots back to the Cornish form of the ancient Welsh Gwenhwyfar—“white wave” or “fair lady.” Picture sea foam catching the dawn light, and you have the gentle sparkle this name carries. Used only in small bursts across the U.S. charts—her busiest moment was the vibrant 1980s—Jenafer stays rare enough to feel like a secret fiesta gift to every child who wears it. Rolling off the tongue as juh-NAH-fur, it blends familiar comfort with just-right surprise, much like slipping a touch of cinnamon into abuela’s hot chocolate. The name is also tied to Guinevere of Arthurian legend, so it comes with a built-in crown of courage and romance—perfect for a little girl ready to dance through life with a brave heart, bright smile, and waves of possibility at her feet.
