About the name Yesenia
Yesenia is a Spanish-language name of uncertain origin. It spread through Latin America after the Mexican writer Yolanda Vargas Dulché created ‘Yesenia’, a romance comic about a young woman raised among Romani travellers. The story was adapted as a Mexican film and as a telenovela, both titled ‘Yesenia’. Claims that the name means ‘flower’ have no clear basis. Yessenia is a common alternative spelling.
