The first name Jennifeur is a variant of the name Jennifer, which has its roots in the Cornish form of the name Guinevere. It holds the meaning fair one or white phantom. This name has been popularized over the years by various cultural influences and reflects a blend of both traditional and contemporary naming trends.

The name Jennifer first emerged in the 20th century, gaining considerable popularity in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States after its rise in the mid-1900s.
