The name for Genesis, the opening book in the Bible comes from the first three words in the Holy Book. What does it mean?

The first Hebrew word in the Bible is "bereshith," which means "In the beginning." The Greek translators of the Septuagint (the first translation of the Bible) based the title on the word "geneseos" which means "In the beginning." The English translation of the Greek word became "Genesis." (Genesis 1:1)
