Geneva (Arpitan: Genèva, IPA: [ˈd͡zənɛva]; French: Genève, IPA: [ʒənɛv]; German: Genf, IPA: [ˈɡɛnf] ( listen); Italian: Ginevra; Romansh: Genevra) is the seicont-maist-populous ceety in Swisserland (efter Zurich) an is the maist populous ceety o Romandie (the French-speakin pairt o Swisserland). Situatit whaur the Rhône River exits Lake Geneva (in French cried Lac Léman an aa), it is the caipital o the Republic an Canton o Geneva. While the municipality itsel (ceety centre ville de Genève) haes a population o 191,415 (2010), the canton o Geneva (République et Canton de Genève, which includes the ceety) haes 457,628 residents (2009).[5] The agglomeration haes 1,240,000[6] residents but the Greater Geneva agglomeration (Geneva-Bern aurie) haes got 2,800,000[7] residents.

Geneva is a global ceety, a financial centre, an a warldwide centre for diplomacy an the maist important internaitional co-operation centre wi New York acause o the presence o numerous internaitional organisations, includin the heidquarters o mony o the agencies o the Unitit Naitions[8] an the Reid Cross.[9] It is forby the place whaur the Geneva Conventions wur signed, which chiefly concern the treatment o wartime non-combatants an preesoners o war.

Geneva haes been describit as the third European financial centre efter Lunnon an Zurich,[10] an the warld's aicht maist important financial centre bi the Global Financial Centres Index, aheid o Frankfurt an Sydney,[11] an a 2009 survey bi Mercer foond Geneva tae hae the third-heichest quality o life o ony ceety in the warld (narrowly ootranked bi Zurich).[12] The ceety haes been referred tae as the warld's maist compact metropolis an the "Peace Caipital".[13] In 2009, Geneva wis ranked as the fowert maist expensive ceety in the warld.[14]

Etymology

The name Geneva is probably o Celtic oreegin. The ceety wis mentioned in Laitin texts wi the spellin Genava. The name takes various forms in modren leids. Thus, it is Geneva in Inglis an pronounced /dʒɨˈniːvə/ (deprecatit template), French: Genève [ʒənɛv], German: Genf [ˈɡɛnf] ( listen), Italian: Ginevra [dʒiˈneːvra], an Romansh: Genevra. Anither theory is that Geneva is derived frae "Genévrier" which is the French wird for "juniper".

Thare is occasionally confusion atween this ceety an the Italian port o Genoa (in Italian Genova) as thay seem tae share a Celtic root, genu / genawa, meanin "estuary."
