Génesis

The name Génesis is derived from the Ancient Greek word 'γένεσις' (genesis), meaning 'origin,' 'creation,' or 'birth.' Its most prominent association is with the first book of the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, which describes the creation of the world and the origins of humanity. This biblical connection has given the name a profound and foundational significance.

While historically more common as a concept or a book title, Génesis began to be adopted as a given name, particularly in Spanish-speaking cultures. Its usage as a personal name reflects a desire to imbue the bearer with qualities of new beginnings, creation, or a sense of foundational importance. It is used for both males and females, though it has seen a surge in popularity for girls in recent decades.
