Magnonic frequency combs (MFCs) generated via internal magnetic nonlinearities have exhibited rich physics beyond their optical counterparts. However, existing approaches rely on dynamic nonlinearity, which typically demands high power thresholds and stringent momentum conservation. Here we show that the geometric nonlinearity intrinsic to magnetic systems, originating from the unit-norm constraint of the magnetization vector, can serve as an independent nonlinear resource for MFC generation. Through transverse Floquet engineering, this geometric constraint converts a transverse drive into a longitudinal parametric modulation. In the low-frequency limit, the four-particle process reduces to an effective two-magnon modulation, enabling low-threshold comb generation in the linear regime, with the modulation amplitude scaling quadratically with the driving field and enhanced flatness arising from geometric harmonics. These results provide a deeper understanding of frequency combs and magnon nonlinear interactions, and offer a new theoretical foundation for enhancing MFC performance.
