I'll provide two examples you might have heard of because they can be pathogenic, and in both examples the genus name tells you the shape of the individual bacterium as well as the shapes formed by groups of cells as they grow and divide: Staphylococcus aureus (Staph = grows in clusters, coccus = individual cells are spherical). Another example could be Streptobacillus moniliformis (Strep = grows in chains, bacillus = individual cells are rod-shaped).
