elucubrare:

I don’t know who first spelled the name as “Guinevere,” but I’m forever thankful that it’s the form in most common use, because other options include “Guanhumara” “Guennuuar” “Gahunmare” and “Wenneuereia”

thanks to whichever medieval person decided it was time to stop calling the queen by random horse noises

And  Gwenhwyfar.

Then it got modernised and modernised and eventually it got to Jennifer. 

So I am clearly secretly Guinevere. Yep.
