Yasia is Persian, Slavic in Origin.

Yasia is a Slavic given name most often a transliteration of Polish Jasia and East‑Slavic Яся. In Poland, Jasia functions as a familiar form of Janina or Joanna, both ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan, “God is gracious.” In Ukrainian and Belarusian use, Яся (rendered Yasia or Yasya) can be a pet name for Yaroslava, Yana, or Anastasiia, linking it either to the Slavic roots yar- “vigorous, springtime” + slava “glory,” to the Hebrew‑derived Jane/Joanna line, or to the Greek Anastasia, “resurrection.”

First documented largely as a household diminutive in the 19th–20th centuries, Yasia has begun to appear as an independent given name in recent decades, especially in diaspora communities, while remaining rare in formal records. Variants and spellings include Yasya, Jasia, Jasya, and Asya, with related formal names Janina, Joanna, Yaroslava, Yana, and Anastasia; meanings follow the root name selected.
