Meaning & origin
Genesi first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1991, a modern variant of the biblical word name Genesis. Its peak year was 2010, after which it entered a steady decline, reflecting a trajectory that has been falling since that year. While never reaching the top 1000, Genesi saw its highest usage during the early 2010s, aligning with the broader trend of creative spellings and word names. The name carries the meaning of 'origin' or 'beginning', appealing to parents seeking a name with spiritual undertones and a contemporary feel, though it remains relatively uncommon.
Genesi is a variant spelling of the name Genesis, which is directly taken from the English word for the first book of the Bible, derived from Greek 'genesis' meaning 'origin, creation'. The name has been used as a given name since the late 20th century, following the trend of using biblical and word names. This particular spelling variant reflects a modern phonetic adaptation, likely influenced by Italian or Spanish feminine endings.
