The story of Jennifier
Jennifer came into wider English use from Cornwall, where it was the local form of Guinevere, and in the twentieth century it became one of the most familiar women's names in America. Jennifier is that name with an added i, and the record cannot say whether any given Jennifier was spelled that way by choice or by a slip on a form. Read by the rules of English spelling, the ending -ifier suggests four syllables and a stress on the fie, as in amplifier, which is not how the name is said.
Meaningscholars disagree
white or fair (through Jennifer)
Jennifer is the Cornish form of Guinevere, from Welsh Gwenhwyfar. The first part is gwen, white or fair; the second is read by some scholars as smooth and by others as phantom, and nobody has settled it.
