In Arabic, the singular for genie or jinn is “ginni”, while the plural is “ginn.” From the Latin “genus” the modern term “genetics” is derived, with a certain resemblance to “jinn” - as these entities are believed to be capable of determining familial features of resemblance. The only resemblance between the two is the pronunciation, as jinn and genius are totally distinct entities.

In English, “ genie” is a synonym for “jinn” and it is derived from the Latin “genius” - which used to refer to a sort of protective spirit which each human was thought to have since the moment of birth. This refers to another place hidden in space and time - the Garden of Paradise. The word gannah is also derived from the same root. In translation, the term jinn can be interpreted as ‘hidden from sight’ or ‘the hidden ones.’ In Arabic, the word jinn defines a collective number and it derives from the root jnn or gnn, which means ‘ to hide’ or ‘ to be hidden.’ All this implies that jinn are not necessarily spirits, but they are hidden in their status in time, in space, and in darkness.
