What is the meaning of the name Yenia ?

Yenia is Greek in Origin.

Yenia is a feminine given name that most often represents a modern spelling bridging Slavic and Romance forms. In many cases it is treated as a variant of Xenia/Ksenia, from Greek xenia “hospitality,” while in others it reflects a clipped or phonetic rendering of Eugenia/Evgeniya, from Greek eugenēs “well-born, noble.” Both etymologies are long-established in the Greek world and later in Eastern Europe.

Usage of Yenia itself is recent, appearing in 20th–21st‑century records in Latin America, Spain, and Slavic diasporas, likely through creative respellings and transliteration. Related forms include Xenia, Ksenia, Kseniya, Ksenija, and Eugenia/Evgenia; diminutives seen nearby are Genia, Zhenya, and Enia. The name carries connotations of gracious welcome or noble birth, depending on the lineage traced, and appeals to parents seeking an internationally legible yet uncommon alternative to Xenia or Eugenia.
