Yacine

US Popularity Rank: 17180

Origin: Swiss

Meaning: Happiness; Rich

Yacine is a Swiss name for girls meaning “happiness.” Most likely a variant of the Arabic Yasin meaning “rich,” the moniker also helps shed light on the history between the two cultures. In the 10th century, defeated Arab soldiers journeyed to Switzerland from Provence. The regions of Valais, Great St. Bernard Pass, St. Gallen, and Raetia became their new homes and in no time, their culture seeped into the landscape. So choosing this symbolic name for baby is to bless them with health, wealth, and everything in between. It’s also a heartfelt way to let your little one know the happiness they have brought to your life.
