Fair one; white wave
Originally a diminutive of Jane or Jennifer, Jennie has stood as a name in its own right for centuries. It is derived from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, meaning white or fair, and the English name Jane, meaning God is gracious. While it was a Top 10 name in the late 19th century, it is now considered a sweet, vintage rarity.
