Meaning & origin
Yasna is a modern feminine name that first entered U.S. records in 2012, reflecting contemporary naming trends that favor melodic, vowel-ending names. With a rank of 10,917 in 2025 and a rarity of about 1 in 200,908 births, it remains an uncommon choice. Its popularity rose steadily, peaking in 2023 before a slight decline in 2024 and 2025. The name's etymology is unclear, likely a creative respelling of Yasmina or a standalone coinage inspired by similar sounding names. Though it has no recorded top states or famous bearers, its gentle sound and rarity appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name.
Yasna first appeared in U.S. records in 2012, suggesting a recent coinage. It may be a feminine variant of Yasmin or Yasmina, ultimately derived from the Persian word for jasmine flower. However, the spelling Y-A-S-N-A aligns with the Avestan term 'yasna' (meaning worship), though a direct connection is unsubstantiated.
