Jennilynn

Caught between the magical and the every day, baby Jennilynn might just be your very own witch or wizard in disguise! Jennilynn is an American combination of Jeni and Lynn, both of which have European roots in rather popular names. Jeni comes from Jenny, a medieval English diminutive of Jane and Jennifer. Jane, an Old French feminine form of Iohannes, is directly related to the Hebrew John or Yochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious" or "God is gracious." Meanwhile, Jennifer is more authentically spelled as the Welsh Gwenhwyfar and carries several otherworldly meanings like "white phantom," "white-cheeked," "magical being," and "white spirit." Lynn, keeping with the Welsh roots, was originally an English surname before becoming a first name, meaning "lake" from the Welsh llyn, finishing this beautifully diverse name on a peaceful note.
