Genevive is a female first name.
Recently, the name Genevive has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Genevive. That means that a girl named Genevive is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Genevive.
If your name is Genevive your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Genevive never ranked higher than position 1,178 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Genevive. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1896 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Genevive because that was a veeeeery long time ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Genevive was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Genevive still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 12 times in the entire U.S. So, a Genevive from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
The first name Genevive is a true rarity among all women and girls currently living in the United States – only 39 Americans in total bear this name. And these 39 women are located in only four states: California, Illinois, New York and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 women with this name in the state. So, if your name is Genevive and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most girls and women named Genevive in relation to it’s female population is Illinois. And yet even there, only one in 756,870 women would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Genevive.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.
With eight letters, the name Genevive is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
If your name is Genevive and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Genevive, you can simply say:
Goat
Elephant
Nut
Elephant
Violin
Igloo
