Jennifer (female)


Variants:	Guinevere (F) Gwenhwyfar (F) Juniper (F)
Diminutive(s):	Jen (F) Jenn (F) Jenni (F) Jennie (F) Jenny (F)
Pet Name(s):	Jenna (F)
Lesser Synonym(s):	Gaynor (F)

Source(s):	The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes:	English, from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar, "fair and yielding". Jennifer is a Cornish/Celtic variant of Guinevere, King Arthur's wife. Gaynor is a medieval variant of Guinevere so we have classed it as a lesser synonym of Jennifer. Juniper as a given name is possibly associated with Jennifer which ONC suggests was a formative influence on the surname Juniper. We have classed these forenames as "variants" but believe the link to be somewhat tenuous.
