my name
Hi Mike,First of all, great site!! My name is "Jenia" and recently i have found out it's origin is probably russian, even, maybe is a hebrew or yidish name more extended in russians and west Europe hebrews, because i have found many russian hebrews women who inmigrated to Israel in the 2nd World War, or whose ancestors were hebrew inmigrants from old Rusia and West Europe... Anyway, is not a common name at all and i can't find its real origin. In fact, until i discovered this, i always thought my mother had just invented it.. :) so if you can find something else and have a new name in your Data Base would be fantastic.Thanks and good luck!

Well in Russia, Jenia is always used as a nickname for Eugenia. I have an aunt with this name.
