White wave; fair one
A rare variant of Jennifer, which is the Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar. It is composed of the elements 'gwen' meaning white or fair and 'hwyfar' meaning smooth or soft. While the 'Jennifer' spelling dominated the 1970s, this spelling offers a unique visual twist on the classic.
