The name **Yesenia** is the feminine form of the Jewish name **Jesus** (of Jesus Christ). Its origin can be traced to ancient Hebrew, where it was pronounced as **Yeshua**, meaning "**savior**" or "**support**." From there comes the meaning of the name—savior, protector, one who brings comfort. The name became very popular in Christianity, especially after the Gospels were written. In Russia, **Yesenia** appeared relatively late—around the **XVII century**, when Christianity had firmly established itself in Russian lands. In the **XIX century**, the name was quite popular, particularly in the second half of the century, but by the **XX century**, its usage declined. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in the name, perhaps largely due to the rise of religion and spirituality. People named **Yesenia** are often associated with **calmness**, **kindness**, **empathy**, and **sensitivity**. They possess a strong inner world, are inclined to deep reflection, and often show care for others. **Yesenia** is a name that can impart a unique strength and confidence, despite its seemingly gentle sound. Notable bearers of the name **Yesenia** are, first and foremost, characters from literature and art. The most famous is the character from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "**Nabucco**"—the Queen of Saba, named **Yesenia**. In real life, the name was and is used less frequently, but for example, **Yesenia Bertino** was an Italian actress from the early **XX century**. Today, the name **Yesenia** is not among the most popular in Russia and many Slavic countries, but it remains one of the beautiful and meaningful options. Variations of the name might include **Yesen**, **Yana**, **Yesifa**, as well as Jewish forms—**Yeselka**, **Yesilia**.
