Ginny

/ˈdʒɪni/ noun

Definition

A female given name, often a nickname for Virginia or Ginny; also can mean a female genie or spirit.

Etymology

As a name, it's a diminutive of Virginia (from the Latin 'Verginius'). The alternate spelling 'djinni' or 'jinn' for a spirit comes from Arabic 'jinni,' a supernatural being from Islamic mythology.

Kelly Says

Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter made this name famous among younger generations, but the mythological 'genie' (from Arabic jinn) is actually a much older concept—these spirits predate the tales of Arabian Nights by centuries.
