What is the meaning of the name Yesseniya ?

The baby name Yesseniya is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced yeh-seh-NEE-yah (IPA: /je.seˈni.ja/).

Yesseniya is Spanish in Origin.

Yesseniya blends Slavic and Spanish naming traditions. In the Slavic sphere, it corresponds to the modern Russian female name Есения (Yeseniya), formed in the 20th century from the poet Sergei Yesenin’s surname, itself traced to the archaic word yesen’ “autumn.” As a result, the name is often interpreted as “autumnal” or “of autumn.” It has seen revived use in Russia and neighboring countries since the 2000s.

In the Hispanic world, related forms Yesenia/Yessenia/Jesenia rose after an early-1970s film and telenovela titled Yesenia, with probable inspiration from Jessenia, a South American palm genus - hence a nature-linked rather than lexical meaning. Variants and transliterations include Yeseniya, Eseniya, Yessenia, Yesenia, Jesenia, and Iessenia; Yesseniya represents a hybrid spelling bridging both traditions. Pronunciations vary (ye-SEH-nee-yah or yeh-SEH-nyah), and usage peaks differ by region: Spanish-speaking communities favored the name in the late 20th century, while Eastern Europe adopted it more recently.
