Yennefer

Meaning of Yennefer

The name Yennefer is a unique and enchanting choice for a baby girl, with origins rooted in the Welsh name Jennifer, which means "fair one" or "white wave." Pronounced as yen-EH-fur (/jənˈefər/), Yennefer has gained popularity, albeit modestly, in recent years. Its allure has been further amplified by its association with the beloved character Yennefer of Vengerberg from the popular fantasy series "The Witcher," both in literature and its acclaimed screen adaptations. This connection imbues the name with qualities of strength, intelligence, and mystique. Although not widely common—ranking 13,414th in 2023 with just six occurrences—the name's rarity adds to its distinctive charm. For parents seeking a name that combines classic elegance with modern fantasy appeal, Yennefer offers an excellent choice.
