[Facts] Genonera
Genonera is a feminine name probably of olde Castilian etymology (I'd imagine that Genonero is the masculine equivalent), of which I can find NOTHING throughout the internet so as to know its meaning & origin. I even searched Terra.es and.. nada. Perhaps there's someone here who is knowledgeable of this unusual prænomen. Any insights are appreciated; my thanks. :)

I now believe that this name is a misspelling of Genoveva.
If anyone has information otherwise, please share it. Thanks.

It reminds me of the Italian names Gennara and Gennaro. Although they may not look like it they come from the latin Janus/Ianuarius. Other related names are Januaria, January(legit masculine name in some languages and only coincidentally the name of the month in English), Janvier(legit French name and also the French word for the month) and Janvière(feminine form of Janvier).
