Gainor

Gainor stems from several origins, making it a gender-neutral choice and so appealingly versatile. As a form of Gaynor, Gainor may mean “descendant of the fair-headed one” from the Irish last name Mag Fhionnbhairr. It could alternatively derive from the Celtic Guinevere, from Gwenhwÿfar, carrying the ethereal endearment “white fay,” “white phantom,” or “white spirit.” Gainor may also be a respelling of the English last name Gainer, lending the rustic meaning of “farmer.” Embodying family, the otherworldly, and skilled hands that cultivate life-sustaining nourishment, Gainor is open to anything baby dreams of being.
