Meaning:Birth, origin, beginning
Gennesiss is a feminine name for the little one whose journey of growing, learning, and experiencing will soon commence. A respelling of Genesis or Genesiss, Gennesiss is rooted in the Greek word génesis, meaning "birth," "origin," or "beginning." When your tiny tot arrives, the first page of their story will be written, a story that will become more vibrant and detailed with every feat they achieve and person they meet. Gennesiss could also remind you of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. A narrative account of God's creation of the world, Genesis starts with the words "in the beginning." For you, this phrase won't just represent the first days of Earth, but the first days you'll spend with your little one.
