Γίγνομαι (gignome)in Ancient Greek and γίνομαι (ginome) in modern, means ‘I come into being ,I become’ From that, come the nouns γένος (genos) meaning ‘race’ and γέννηση (gennisi) meaning ‘birth’. The collective name for people born within a specific timeline is called γενεά (genea). The word might have came to the English through the Latin generare but the meaning stayed intact. ΓΕΝΕΑ/GENERATION
