The name Yesenia refers to a type of palm tree. The palm tree symbolizes resilience, as it stands tall and firm despite the harshest winds. Like palm trees, a girl named Yesenia may demonstrate qualities of resilience, durability, and grace, standing tall amidst adversities.
The origin of the name Yesenia is debated often. Some believe it's of Arabic origin, linked to the name "Jessenia", a type of palm tree in South America. However, the name didn't gain popularity until its usage in a famous 1970s Mexican telenovela, "Yesenia". Since then, it has seen usage primarily in Spanish-speaking countries.
A notable figure with this name is Yesenia Bustillo, a model. The name's popularity, initially sparked by the telenovela, has seen its highs but is considered less common now, making it unique in today’s times.
Typically, Yesenias are perceived as strong, resilient individuals, who manage to remain graceful even in the face of troubles. Choosing this name for a baby girl could signify a resilient and bright future, much like the palm tree it symbolizes.

Hello my Name is Yessenia...Like what many other have said have a name like this is very hard to have when your younger because not alot of people either have the name or can pronounce it, I had people when growing up call me "Lesania, Yesamina, Jessamina, Yehsina". But now that im older people who hear my name or see It'say is a beautiful name. The'short term of my name is usally "Yes, Yessie, Yessy". I also have the'story where my name was inspired by the telenovela "Yesenia". After years of wearing this name it tells people im just as unique as my name is and of my hispanic roots.
Hey I'm another Yesennia with double N and I was also named after the novela lol but oddly my brother picked my name because he fell in love with the protagonist of the novela lol I love my name but my professors have trouble saying It'so I'm also known as Jes
Hi, another yesenia here.... Everyone use to pronounce it wrong, my teache's especially til this day, white people always get it wrong! :( but I never will forget what my husband told me when he heard my name for the first time, he'said he fell in love with my name, he had never ever heard my name til the first day he meet me! :) I wouldn't chAnge it for the world!
i love my name its great everyone knows im hispanic becuase of it
well thik hee hai yaar, khud ke naam ke bare me koi kaise kah sakta hai,
Hey every yesenia out there...I was named after my mom....my grandma named her after the girl in the'soap opera...i've been'trying to find more info about it but no luck... every one I'meet always tells me that I have a beautiful name and I know I do...I use to hate it just because I didn't want to have the'same name as my mom...but o well...my daughters name is ILEENE... pretty unique as well...signing off from Wylie TX!
Jessenia here. Oddly enough I was named by my father, and yes, also after the'soap opera. I grew up in a predominantly hispanic town and there were a lot of Yesenia's and Jessenia's so I didnt grow to like my name until I started college. Now i appreciate how rare it is... and it doesn't hurt that guys are always intrigued by it! ;)
my little cousins name is yesenia and i think its a beautiful name we sometimes call her nenya. its unique! i wish i had a unique name instead of Meagan.. but when i have a daughter i plan on naming her'senia after yesenia.
hi every one,you know i love my name and if your name is yesenia like my name,than you shuld be so proud!every one i have ever met whos name is yesenia are supper nice and if you want to talk to me send me some thing... bye
i can'totally relate to everything yall said,,,i was named after the'soap oprea too! But i wanna know what it is called,, does anyony know❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I'm another one with the name yessenia. Sometimes people at work and school call me yisina which is incorrect and i get really mad. But i understand that is a very difficult pronunciation for american people. Sometimes i get mistaken for native of american because of the'spelling, but one's again they are wrong, IM HISPANIC. I have lots of stories to tell about my name, like this one.. A guy just went out with me just because he loved my name. It'sound crazy but he did.
my name is also yesenia and i always thought that i was the only one named yesenia but i guess not don't i feel lucky
Well, I don't think there is a "right" or "wrong" way to spell this name because Ashley and Ashely are different names, so don't say "Ashely" is the wrong way because some people may have personal reasons for naming their child with that certain spelling. I would give this a neutral rating, but I think names deserve their love. You can't judge someone by their name! If you like the'sound of the name, go for it!
GUESS WHAT MY NAME IS❤️❤️ AND JUST LIKE MANY OF YOU, I TOO WAS NAMED AFTER The'sPANISH SOAP OPERA BUT FROM THE 1982's. Not the one with Adela Noriega. :-) I think I proabably fall in the first or second bar on the chart above. I also go by Yesi (because coaching soccer to little kids, they could not pronounce my name). I didn't name my daughter after me but her name'starts with a 'Y' as well. Another pretty name...Yulissa.
for all you yesenias out there other than me: this name is a variant of the arabic word.for jazmine the flower . Just thought id let you know. Stay awesome girls!

Hey all you Yesenia's out there!!! My name is Yesenia too. My mom also named me after the 1982's Spanish soap opera. Funny story...I just discovered about 5 years ago that my mom spelled my name wrong on my birth certificate...she'spelled it Yesinia. When I asked her about It'she didn't even realize that'she had, I still spell it Yesenia. I had never heard of the name either, until I got into high school and then I'met 2 other Yesenia's. My friends and family call me Sen or Senia. I also love my name...signing out...Yesenia from Nor Cal!!!

The names Faye << awesome name . Okay , first of all , just gotta say that when I was a kid , I get bored with the name . I'mean I thought it was plain & all . I wanted more . It's my middle name , & my first is really rare & hard to pronounce . & when I say rare , I'mean it . It's not in google nor any site I went to research about . Anyways , people sometimes called me "fea" which means ugly in spanish which totally hurt me . Then I got more comfortable around people & they stopped calling me that . I hated the name faye b/c it brought me so much pain . But now , I shouldn't be so hateful towards it now . I'm in need of a nickname or something . Thankss guys . After reading all the previous comments , it made me think "wow , my name is loved by othe's ." Thanks & byeebyee . Peacee .

And other people are all like, "wow that's such a cool name! i wish my name was yesenia.". But yeah, can'the name yesenia be pronounced "Jes-eh-nia"❤️ or does "Yes-eh-nia" sound better❤️
Ok the Name YESENIA its a ARABIC NAME 100% my family is from Beirut Lebanon and this name has being existing long time ago even before the'soap opera(that I have never'see before or hear about it) but many people make the mistake to think that this name is Spanish when its completely wrong.

I love my name! In a world of Mary and Jane's It's nice to be different. And now after hearing every possible butcher job of the name have come to grips with always correcting people. It's My name and I will make SURE you pronounce it well. lol. I'm actually currently pregnant (don't know what it is yet) but would love that if I have a daughter'she have a name that reflects our nationality and our culture. To all my yesenia sisters, much love.

Hey, I'm Jessenia too. The double "s" gives it a little written'twist. i've always thought of my name as a special romi name (gypsy). Yes i was also named after the "NOVELA" LOL. The funny thing is that all of us named after the'soap opera must be the'same age. LOL!!!
It's the best name ever! All Yessenias use to be sweet and smart and also really hot and pretty of course!

Hi, I'm another one called Yesenia. I'm from Spain. When I was young i hate my name because anyone knows to writted and they called me Yisenia, Jasmina or Jessica. My parents found Yesenia in a book. The protagonist was a ruman-gypsy girl. I always said my name is Yesnia but you can call me Yesi. But now I'm 25 years old and I say my name is Yesenia and you can call me YE-SE-NIA.
Hey, my name is Yesenia as well. I'm from Spain but I live in London. I always had the'same problem of mispelling and wrong pronounciation... but now I'm used to it and I find it very special! btw, do you know the origin of the name❤️ i've been'told it was flower, but not sure. Do you know the country of origin❤️ thanks!
Hello my name is Yesenia, yes my mom named me after the'soap star, i have not met any one who has the'same as me so far! I love my name it fits me well, yes people always spell it wrong and mis pronounce it, it doesn't bother me because its a way to start a conversation!
my name is also yesenia and yes many people miss pronounce it all the time i hate that. my mother also named me after the'soap opera
my exprince with the name 'yesenia' . many people say that my name is unique and beautiful but some people spell it or pronounce it wrong yet i didn't know there was so many yesenia's in the united states yet i still love my name
I am named Yesenia also. My family and friends call me Jessie or Jes. I also get lots of compliments and I have even had people tell me theyre going to name their children after me! It's nice to have a unique name even'though people cant prononce It'sometimes. I also was named after a soap opera. I like when guys prefer to call me by Yesenia because they say its prettier than Jessie. Its nice to know there's othe's who feel the'same!
hey guess what❤️ Im a Yesenia too...i know people really think my name is unique and i just love getting all the compliments...especially from the males...hehehe!
Hate, hate, HATE this name. I'm so changing it when I get the money to do so!
I love my name, no one i know has it. I know that I'm special because no one i have met has not told me what a beautiful name I have. My name means flower! Isn't that oh so beautiful!
Hey guys! Another Yesenia here:) At first, I hated my name because it was so difficult for people to pronounce my name. It doesn't help that I also have a difficult but unique last name. So together I have an impossible name to pronounce but now I realize how unique my name is and I have learned to love it. My mom also named me based on the gypsy on the'soap opera and I'm actually in the process of getting a tattoo that represents my name and my mother.
My name is yesenia too but its spelt Yexenia...if you think yesenia was hard to pronounce...imagine It'spelt with an x..
i love the name yesenia because my name is yesenia some people do get confused by saying my name
my name is cool and all But people dont know how to say it or spell it. They spell it with a j, double s, no i, and retarted things like that. I hate it when'they dont know how to say it and i tell them and they are like what❤️ can You'repeat it again❤️ that is so stupid. well yeah thats my experience. I really have not met many yesenia's but if there are im am the one and only yesenia in this world. So dont try to repeat my name in the near future cuz im the flyest Yesenia.
Well my name is Tafarrah a spin off of the original but I love my name it always stands out.
I always have to spell it out because no one can pronounce it and because there is no american equivalent I am stuck trying to correct everyone. My ex-best friend's mom, dad, sister and one brother never'said my name right after knowing them for over ten years!! I wouldn't mind the name'so bad if there was an english equvalent to It'so that I wouldn't have to repeat myself so much.
my name is Yesenia to and when i was litle i just to always ask my mom why did she name me so whird,and she whould tell me that i whould like my name later. Now i love my name because its unique and every body likes it to so that makes me fell even better. Also if some day i have a girli will name it Yesenia to.
well in my experience of having the name vanessa is really horrible like the girl on the 4th paragraph has been saying much lies she'said it isnt a common name well she is stupid cuz can't u see there's too many dang vanessa's in this world and look how many people has been writing this hahaha i bet ur white!so yeah the name vanessa has been burned out and i think i should deserve this name to myself cuz im d-uneek and u chicks should change ur names kk l8tz!
Hi, obviously my name is Yesenia too, name by the'soap opera (also). There were so many times where my name was mispronounce and I found it amusing each time. Got a few compliment because of my name and have -yet- to meet another with the'same name. I love my name, it is unique and mystical as the'soap opera.
I, too, was named after the'soap opera star from the 1982s. When I started my career, many co-workers started to call me Jessie, or Yesi. This created much confusion at work. After years of using the "other" names to accommodate the non-hispanic co-workers who couldn't pronounce my name properly, i've now gone back to using my name as it was intended, Yesenia. I love it and the confusion is no longer there.
The name Zed is very unique and easy to pronounce, just as it is cool.
I'm latina ..and I love my name!!! My parents named me Yesenia because in 1995 when I was born, there was a very famous soup opera playing on tv called Gitana,where the main character was a girl called like that. So, by then... my name wasn't so popular and my parents loved it. I'm happy because here in the United States I almost never find people named like me!!!
It weird my full name is Yesenia Unique Flores. So in english its jasmin unique flowers! My name i really my middle name
Hello my name is yesenia too;) I luuuuuvvvv my name even'though a lot of people cannot pronounce it. I always get asked if I'm Armenian... My father named me yesenia after the'soap opera as well lol!!!
love the name Jesenia..going to name my kid that name
I am 35 weeks preggers and Jessenia is at the top of my list for my precious one's name. I would consider using the'spanish spelling but would like to spare my girl all the hazzles of mispronounciation. In Cuba we pronounce the Y like a J as in "Yo" which means "I"...so even if I used the'spelling "Yesenia" we would still pronounce it as Jessenia.
I am the true Yesenia!:) I too get great complements from people. I love my name and love the fact that'some people don't know how to say it or spell it becouse it only makes it that much intersting.
my name is yesenia also and at first i didnt like my name very much but as i got older i learned to embrace it and love my name... there are many people who cnt say it right or at all but i find it to be very funny... people call me yoyo,yesi,jes,jessy...
hello my mother named me Yessenia after'she finished reading the novel "Yesenia" which latter was shown as a soap opera. She added a double s because she is a romantic person. Yesenia from the novel was a Gypsy girl. Therefore, the name is Arabic and It's meaning is a flower.
i went to howard university with a girl named yesenia.(jenny) was her nickname and she was dominican. now, since i am with a dominican and i love this name, we will give our first daughter this name which is great, because his name is similar.ninahhh
I love my Name Yesenia, the'soap opera was called "Yesenia la gitana" Yesenia the gypsy. My mom fell inlove with the name, was going to give it to my sister and my grandmother told her to name her after then. Zenaida very pretty name as well. And then came my Brother JR and Finally me :) Yesenia and I also go by Yesy.(pronouced Jesse) I love the name always will :)
I'm NOT Yesenia, but if I'll have a daughter,it would be Yesenia :) I am Yulia :D bye Yesenias,you have wonderful name:-***
Named by my father also after the'spanish novela Yesenia lol. I think Im going to have to watch the novela after reading so many girls saying they were named from the novela and by their fathe's lol. I wonder what was so intriguing about the character that they wanted to name us after her. can't wait to find out.
OMG are there really that many of us out there❤️ i love my name! i used tohate it when i was little because i hated the way everybody else had "normal" names and mine was "wierd"! but noew i realize that wierd isnt the correct word for it unique is the word i prefer!i love my name now, people tell me all the time how that name is so pretty!and you know what...they're right!
my name is yesenia too. i love my name'so much that am going to name my daughter the'same. i hate went people pronouce my name they call me yesinia or yasinia but still i love my name'so much i think this name is so beautiful
hi .. you guessed it! my name is yesenia as well. i've always been fascinated by my name'since its not very common & i ALWAYS get asked about it. I'm not sure if It's Spanish or Arabic. I'm pretty sure its Spanish since i've never met any middle eastern girl w/ this name. or who knows, it could be both.(:
I love my name I think is the best name ever, n yes they Name me after the'soup opera "Yessenia" N guess wut is the best name ever!
OMG... My name is Yesenia, the name was chosen by my father. Unlike most of these ladies, my dad was not aware of this famous soap opera, he knew a baby girl with this name and felt in love with the name. Well, like some of you Yesenia's out there, I also went through a period when I wasn't happy with my name. People would never get the pronunciation right, that would annoy me soo much! People would end up calling me Yesi, Xenia, Yes, and other'shorter versions of my name. Now I'm a little older and I how love my name. Every day I'm at work I get more than one compliment on my name, people find it unique, exotic, and mysterious, lol.. I happen'to work at a hospital so I'm always meeting different people. I like the fact that I don't hear it very often:)
omg like i love it like omg i really do like the other girls 2 like i use 2 like hate it but now i dont like i love it like yessenia 4 eva yessenisa rule like duh❤️❤️❤️❤️
My name is Yesenia. I love it cuz It's very different. I go by Jessie just because It's easier to pronounce and remember. People are amazed when I tell them that my name is actually Yesenia. The way I pronounce It'surprises them. Love it!
ha ha ha yes that's my name as well YESENIA(: and yes my mother named me after the novela yesenia la gitana..It's funny how alot parents named there baby girls yesenia because of the'soap opera...yes people do pronounce wrong...but when I was in high school alot of girls had the'same name as well but now that am in college I don't really hear it..
Hey, my name is Yesenia and my mom named me after a friend she had in middle school. I don't like my name because the only origins of the exact spelling I find online tell me that It's a character from a soap opera. The name is KINDOF different, but then again I know like 3 Yesenias. I don't like my name because it has no real meaning behind it and being named after'some gypsy in a soap opera is pretty lame. I wouldn't curse my kid with this dumbass name and the only reason I'm not changing it is out of respect for my mom.
Well ... I'm Nina. And to be honest, I used to hate that name too because where I live there are so many girls with that name! But now that I think better, I love it ... and i've never met anyone that hated it. It may be short but I think It's beautiful. I like being a Nina! ^^
I love my name, its different. When I was younger I would always get my name'spelt incorrectly. Living in Australia, back in early 90's spanish names were hardly known,that made it harder. Sometimes I get wierd spelling of my name with Wesenia, eventhough you say Y they put a W for some reason.
My dad named me Yesenia and I always thought it was such an ugly name no one could say and so different from my friends pretty names like jessica and sarah . I go by yesi I still don't like my name and want to change it!! Lol
