Its peak year so far was 2024, and it has shown consistent upward momentum since 2018.

Yostina's growth parallels a broader trend of distinctive, culture-rich names finding a place in America's diverse naming landscape.
Yostina is a feminine name of Arabic origin, typically considered a variant of Youssef (Joseph) through the feminine ending -ina. It is used in Coptic Christian communities in Egypt, where it may also be linked to the saintly name Justina (Latin 'justus', 'just'). The name has gained usage in the United States from 2017 onward.
