History & Origin

Ysenia is a streamlined spelling of Yesenia that appeared among Hispanic American families. It stayed rare, touching a small high around 1999.

Given to only about twenty girls a year at most, it appeared thinly into the twenty-first century. A girl named Ysenia at that peak would be in her mid-twenties today. The Y- opening gives the popular Yesenia a sleeker look.

Did you know? Yesenia, the name behind Ysenia, swept the Spanish-speaking world after a hit telenovela and film of that title, though its exact origin, sometimes tied to a flower, remains uncertain.
