Yensi is Spanish in Origin.

Yensi is a modern, Spanish-influenced given name used across Latin America and among U.S. Latino communities. Its etymology is debated: many treat it as a spelling of Yency/Yensy or Jensi/Jensy, forms that likely derive either from Jens (the Scandinavian cognate of John) or from the American surname Yancey/Yancy, often linked to Jan/Johan. On that basis, Yensi inherits the John-family meaning "God is gracious" (from Hebrew Yohanan). The name functions as gender-neutral and is generally pronounced YEN-see.

Documented mainly since the late 20th century, Yensi appears in Caribbean and northern South American naming, athlete rosters, and social media rather than long historical registers, and remains rare in official popularity lists. Variant spellings include Yensy, Yency, Jensi, Jensy and Yencie; related forms are Yancy/Yancey and Jens. Short forms Yen, Yenny/Yenni, and Ensi occur in casual use. It lacks diacritics in Spanish and English, though spellings fluctuate by region.
