Etymology

Gena is a female name often used as a short form of longer names like Eugenia or Georgina. Those names share the root gen, which means 'birth' or 'kind', and you can see the same idea in the English word gene, so you can remember Gena as a woman's name linked to 'birth' or family origins.
