Well-born or noble
Genia is a diminutive form of Eugenia, the feminine counterpart to Eugene. It is derived from the Greek elements 'eu', meaning well, and 'genes', meaning born. While it functions as a standalone name in some cultures, it is most often used as a familiar short form in Eastern Europe and English-speaking countries.
