The name Genesis is derived from the Greek word genesis, meaning "birth" or "origin." The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible, making this one of the most meaningful biblical names you could give a baby boy. Genesis first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 1988 and has now been a top-100 girl's name every year since 2008. It can also be used for a baby boy and can be spelled Jenesis. It's the name "Fences" actress Viola Davis gave her daughter Genesis, born in 2010, and the name singer Alicia Keys gave her daughter Genesis Ali, born in 2014.
