Yenna
Meaning of Yenna
Yenna brings a quietly confident charm to the playground, wrapping a little girl in warmth like a favorite blanket. Pronounced YEN-uh, it’s a modern, playful spin on familiar names such as Jenna or Jenny, yet bold enough to stand on its own. Often thought of as a fresh offshoot of Jennifer—whose Welsh roots in Gwenhwyfar speak of “white enchantment”—Yenna carries echoes of mythic grace without feeling fussy. In the U.S., just a handful of new moms have whispered it into birth announcements each year, keeping it delightfully rare; last decade it hovered around ranks in the mid-900s, barely six babies per year. That gentle rarity means your little Yenna won’t blend into a sea of Emilys or Sophias, yet she’ll still feel instantly relatable. It’s the perfect pick for parents craving both tradition and a touch of unexpected sparkle.
