Ginny

Ginny is an English diminutive of Virginia, which itself derives from the Latin family name Virginius, likely connected to the Latin word virgo meaning maiden or virgin. The name gained widespread use as an independent given name in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century. It is closely associated with the fictional character Ginny Weasley from J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, which brought the name renewed popularity. Related forms include Ginna, Jenny, and the full name Virginia.
