Genevieve comes from the Old French Geneviève — possibly from the Germanic kuni (kin, tribe) and weif (woman), meaning "woman of the tribe" or "of the people." Saint Geneviève (c. 422-512), patron saint of Paris, is credited with saving the city from Attila the Hun by prayer.
Genevieve has been climbing steadily in the U.S. since the 2000s. Today it sits in the U.S. top 175.
Genevieve does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Genevieve reduce to 4, The Builder. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
