Meaning and history
Jinny is an English diminutive that can represent several names, especially Virginia, Jennifer, or Jean. Virginia is an ancient Roman family name of uncertain meaning, Jennifer derives from Welsh Gwenhwyfar, and Jean ultimately means “Yahweh is gracious,” so Jinny has no single universal etymology. The intended full name must be determined from the bearer. A notable bearer is American quilt designer and author Jinny Beyer, influential in the revival of quilting during the late twentieth century.
