GANORE.
A British form of Welsh Gwenhwyvar
(q.v.), meaning
"swelling white wave." (History of Christian Names, Yonge,
1884). Also spelled Ganora
and Gaynor.
Charnock makes this name Teutonic, from
Winifred.
GUENEVER.
This female name, which is found written Guenevere,
Guinivere, Genovova
(in British, Gwenhwyfar,
Gwenfrewi, Ganivre, and
Ganore; in Cornish Jennifer; in It.
Ginevra and Zinevra; in Fr.
Gervéve and Généviève; in
Med. L. Genovefa), is said by some to be of Celtic origin, and to mean
"white wave;" but this is impossible. Catherinot de
Bourges derives it from Zenobia, but, as Ménage says, the name is of
Teutonic, not of Greek, origin. The name is a corruption of
Winifred q.v. (Praenomina, Charnock, 1882).
