They are Greek. γενής (-genēs) (producer, lit. begetter).

The English word "nitrogen" comes from the French nitrogène, which was coined in 1790 by French chemist Jean-Antoine Chaptal. It in turn comes from the Greek "nitron," meaning "sodium carbonate" and from the French "-gène," "producing" derived from Greek "-genes," meaining "producer," or"begetter".
From wikipedia:Its name derives from the Greek rootsὀξύς (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids)and-γενής (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"),because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition.

A and I quote "Mr. W. H."However, there may have been no formal dedication of the Sonnets. The language of the relevant foreword in their first publication is ambiguous. For more on this topic and theories as to the identity of the foreword's addressee, read Who Was Mr WH? at the link below.
The sonnets were published in 1609 by Thomas Thorpe, possibly without Shakespeare's permission. The dedication reads "To the onlie begetter of these insuing sonnets Mr. W.H. all happinesse and that eternity promised by our ever-living poet wisheth the well-wishing adventurer in setting forth. T.T." The signature of T.T. suggests that the dedication was written by Thomas Thorpe. Massive amounts of time have been spent trying to decipher this cryptic dedication and to guess the possible identity of "Mr. W.H." Nobody even knows what Thorpe meant by "the onlie begetter". It could mean someone who gave Shakespeare financial support, someone who gave Thorpe financial support, Shakespeare's inspiration, someone who delivered a manuscript to Thorpe or the poet himself (i.e. Shakespeare himself). Quite a long list of people have been suggested who meet one or other of these qualifications.
