Plural of geneva; a type of gin that originated in Geneva, Switzerland, or decorative lace trimming used historically on ecclesiastical garments.
From Geneva, Switzerland. The gin name references the city's association with quality spirits, while 'geneva' lace comes from the elaborate lacework patterns that became associated with high-quality needlework from the region.
Geneva gin and Genevan lace represent how place names become brand names—Geneva was so famous for craftsmanship that people just started calling premium products by the city's name, the way we might say 'champagne' today!
