From Fausset's bible dictionary:

The Hebrew name is Bereeshit, from its opening word "in the beginning." Septuagint Genesis means generation, i.e. creation and birth of the universe, man, and history. It is a religious history, therefore it omits accounts in detail of other nations, and concentrates attention on the origin of that one from whom the promised Redeemer of man from the deadly consequences of the fall (which is detailed at the beginning) sprang.

The beginning. 

Depends on who you ask... THey will tell you either birth or begining.

the begining

Beginning of time as we know it that was created out of endless time....genesis means the creation at the very beginning of all things in this realm of the psysical.....the beginning and creation of life etc.beginning of creation
