What is the meaning of the name Jasna ?

The baby name Jasna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈjasna/ (YAH-snah).

Jasna is Slavic in Origin.

Jasna is a feminine Slavic given name widely used in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bulgaria. It derives from the Slavic root jasn-, meaning “clear, bright, lucid,” identical to the everyday adjective jasna/yasna across these languages. The name evokes clarity, brightness, and serenity, and is typically pronounced YAH-snah.

It gained broad popularity in the 20th century, when many South Slavic communities favored names built from native words, and it remains familiar throughout the Balkans and in diaspora communities. Variants and transliterations include Yasna (Ясна) in Cyrillic-using contexts; related but distinct male forms such as Yasen/Jasen exist in some languages, often tied to the “ash tree” rather than the “clear” root. Notable bearers include Serbian Olympic shooter Jasna Šekarić and Croatian singer Jasna Zlokić, helping sustain the name’s regional recognition.
