Yasenia is a feminine name of Spanish origin and a form of Yesenia and Jessenia. Yasenia’s elusive origins make it a tricky one to decipher. It may be inspired by the Mexican telenovelas and film Yesenia from the 1970s and 80s. Yasenia’s link to Jessenia grants it a nature-infused meaning as the biological name of a tropical palm tree, Jessenia bataua, native to the Amazonia. Yasenia may also be Arabic, meaning “like a flower,” perfect for your little blossom that blooms no matter the time of year.
