About the name Jenifer
Jenifer belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Jenifer first appears in Social Security records in 1933. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #271 in 1973, and in 2024 22 babies received the name — 25,536 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
