What is the name Jenna in Italian? Is there an Italian name for Jenna?
Jenna is a modern pet-form of Jennifer, which is the Cornish form of Guinevere. Guinevere is Celtic in origin (original form Gwenhyvar, meaning "white phantom") but became well-known all over Europe due to the popularity of the Arthurian romances.





The Italian form of Guinevere is Ginevra, and the pet-form of Ginevra is Gina; so Jenna and Gina really are direct equivalents, as well as sounding similar.
Reply:It is a form of Jenny


English: now universally taken as a short form of Jennifer, but in fact this name existed during the Middle Ages as a pet form of Jean. Variants: Jenni, Jenna.


Jennifer


English: of Celtic (Arthurian) origin. This represents a Cornish form of the name of King Arthur's unfaithful wife (see Guinevere). At the beginning of the 20th century, the name was merely a Cornish curiosity, but since then it has become enormously popular all over the English-speaking world. One factor in its rise was probably Bernard Shaw's use of it for the character of Jennifer Dubedat in The Doctor's Dilemma (1905). See also Gaynor.

Jean


f.) English and Scottish: like Jane and Joan, a medieval variant of Old French Je(h)anne. Towards the end of the Middle Ages this form became largely confined to Scotland. In the 20th century it has been more widely used in the English-speaking world, but still retains a Scottish flavour. (m.) French form of John. Cognate (of 1): Scottish Gaelic: S矛ne.
