A girls’ name of Latin origin, meaning pure; a form of Guinevere or Virginia.
Ginny by the numbers
In 2025, 16 babies in England and Wales were named Ginny. In the US, 27 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 242 babies in 1958, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
