The name Genevieve comes from the medieval name Genovefa, which is believed to mean “family,” “kin,” “woman,” and “wife." Some theories suggest it's derived from the French words genes, meaning "clan" or "tribe," and vie, meaning "life." It has appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names every year since 1900 and has seen a resurgence in usage since 2010. Model-actress Kate Upton shares a daughter named Genevieve “Vivi” with future Hall of Fame pitcher Justin Verlander, while "9-1-1" actor Ryan Guzman shares a daughter named Genevieve Valentina with his wife, actress Chrysti Ane.
