Etymology

The name Geneva is probably o Celtic oreegin. The ceety wis mentioned in Laitin texts wi the spellin Genava. The name takes various forms in modren leids. Thus, it is Geneva in Inglis an pronounced /dʒɨˈniːvə/^{(deprecatit template)}, French: Genève [ʒənɛv], German: Genf [ˈɡɛnf] ( listen), Italian: Ginevra [dʒiˈneːvra], an Romansh: Genevra. Anither theory is that Geneva is derived frae "Genévrier" which is the French wird for "juniper".

Thare is occasionally confusion atween this ceety an the Italian port o Genoa (in Italian Genova) as thay seem tae share a Celtic root, genu / genawa, meanin "estuary."
