Yasna is of Iranian origin, derived from the Middle Persian word 'yasna,' which means 'worship' or 'reverence.' It was originally used to refer to a Zoroastrian priest who performed Yasna, a ritual prayer of worship. In modern times, Yasna has been adopted as a unisex given name in various cultures, most notably among Iranians and those of Iranian descent living abroad.
The name Yasna experienced steady growth in popularity over the past decade, with a significant jump from 18 to 27 births in 2022 and again in 2023. This suggests that the name may be gaining traction as a contemporary choice for parents.
