Magical beings from Islamic folklore who can grant wishes, often trapped in lamps or bottles.
From Arabic 'jinn' or 'jinni,' referring to supernatural creatures made from fire; the singular 'genie' came through French and became famous in English through tales like Aladdin.
Genies exist in real Islamic theology as actual spiritual beings—they're not just cartoon characters, but part of a centuries-old belief system that influenced everything from 'The Thousand and One Nights.'
