Jenifer is a Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, composed of the elements gwen, meaning fair or blessed or white, and hwyfar, meaning smooth or soft. It is essentially the same name as Jennifer and Guinevere, the latter being the legendary queen consort of King Arthur in medieval tradition. The spelling Jenifer, with a single n, is a less common variant that retains a closer visual link to its Cornish roots. Related forms include Jennifer, Guenevere, and Gaynor.
