A feminine given name, typically a shortened form of Jennifer or Jenna.
Derives from Jennifer, which comes from Cornish Gwenhwyfar meaning 'white phantom' or 'fair one'. The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries in the 20th century as a casual nickname.
While Jenn seems modern and casual, it actually connects to Arthurian legend through Guinevere, as Jennifer is the Cornish form of this legendary queen's name. The transformation from Gwenhwyfar to Jenn shows how names can travel across centuries and cultures.
