I think "Ginevra" is the italian or spanish spelling 
for "Guinevere".  Look for "King Arthur" and "Ginevra" and you'll see.

That fits with other King Arthur names of Weasleys. Percy for 
Percival, Arthur(obviously).  Charles (Charlie), George,  William 
(Bill) are all kings in England as well.  I think it is kind of a 
royal/Arthur legend.  I don't know how Molly or Ron would fit that 
scheme but maybe she just picked name she like and were all crazy 
looking for meaning in them.

Luckdragon:

Ginevra is a form of Guinevere as noted above. It means "fair one".

Molly is a form of Mary and means "perfect one" and is also a royal name.

Ronald means "mighty, powerful". I believe Jo said Ron was based on 2 people she knew. Her best friend in youth Sean and someone her father was acquainted with named Ronald.

Fred means "peace"

George means "farmer"

Bill = guardian

Charlie = strong

Arthur = noble

and strangely I read that Percy means "pierce the veil"

All names are in some way Arthurian or related to Royalty.
