Forms: 1800s–1900s jentoo, 1800s– gentoo.

Perhaps (i) a specific use of Gentoo n.¹ (perhaps compare also slightly later Johnny n. 3b), or perhaps (ii) < Spanish juanito (although this is not securely attested denoting the penguin until considerably later: 1994 or earlier), specific use of the male forename Juanito Johnny < the male forename Juan John + -ito, suffix forming diminutives.

A large penguin native to Antarctica and the subantarctic islands, having a bright orange bill, prominent tail, and white stripe extending from eye to eye over the top of the head, Pygoscelis papua. More fully gentoo penguin.Also called Johnny.
