    The Story Behind Genofefa

    Genofefa is a name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements *kunjiz (meaning 'kin, race, family') and *wīfą (meaning 'woman'). It is the Latinized form of the Old German name Genovefa or Genevieve. The name gained prominence through Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, who lived in the 5th century. Her intercession is credited with saving Paris from Attila the Hun.
