If Christopher is a "carrier of Christ" then what is Jennifer carrying? [closed]

Solution 1:

No Jennifer is from

From a Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar (see GUINEVERE). This name has only been common outside of Cornwall since the beginning of the 20th century, after it was featured in George Bernard Shaw's play 'The Doctor's Dilemma' (1906).

GUINEVERE

From the Norman French form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, composed of the elements gwen meaning "fair, white" and hwyfar meaning "smooth". In Arthurian legend she was the beautiful wife of King Arthur who engaged in an adulterous affair with Sir Lancelot. Her betrayal of her husband with Mordred prompted the battle of Camlann, which led to the deaths of both Mordred and Arthur.

The Cornish form of this name, Jennifer, has become popular in the English-speaking world.

Solution 2:

Yes, the Latin fero is cognate to Greek phero, from which the name Christopher is derived. The name Jennifer, however, is from Welsh words meaning "white" and "smooth," so she is not carrying anything (Online Etymology Dictionary).
