Today’s Final Jeopardy 10/19/2023 (Names) – Thursday, October 19 2023
The name Jennifer is an alteration of this name that in early Welsh literature belonged to the “first lady of the island”
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Thursday, October 19 2023
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Guinevere
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, October 19 2023
The name Jennifer is derived from the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar, better known in English as Guinevere. This character holds the title of “first lady of the island” in early Welsh tales, most notably in the legends of King Arthur. In these stories, Guinevere is a complex character caught in a love triangle between her husband, King Arthur, and Sir Lancelot, one of the king’s trusted knights.
The name Gwenhwyfar has morphed over time, eventually giving rise to the Anglicized version, Jennifer. This variant gained immense popularity in the English-speaking world during the 20th century and continues to be a commonly used name today.
