Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ginevra je talianska podoba mena artušovskej kráľovnej Guinevere, pochádzajúca cez starofrancúzske Guenièvre z waleského Gwenhwyfar. Prvý člen súvisí s keltským *windo- „biely, jasný“, výklad druhého člena však nie je úplne jednotný. Meno etymologicky nesúvisí so švajčiarskym mestom Ženeva ani s talianskym slovom pre borievku.
