Jacenia is a modern feminine given name with Spanish-influenced roots.

The spelling with c before e yields an s sound in Spanish, giving the name a soft, graceful profile.

Rare in records before the late 20th century, Jacenia appears in the U.S., Caribbean, and parts of Latin America as a distinctive floral-leaning choice. Variant spellings and close relatives include Yacenia, Jasenia, Yesenia, Jessenia, Jacinta, Jacinda, and Italian Giacinta. Nicknames range from Jace and Ceni to Nia. Depending on the root you favor, the name conveys either the hyacinth’s bloom or a botanical, tropical vibe linked to the Jessenia palm.
