A female given name; also the name of a Christian saint known as the patron saint of Paris.
From Germanic roots 'gena' (woman) + 'wefa' (wife). Saint Genevieve lived in the 5th century and became famous for protecting Paris from invasions through her prayers.
Saint Genevieve is so important to Paris history that when she died in 512 AD, the church built a basilica over her tomb, and Parisians believed her intercessions saved the city from Attila the Hun's invasion.
