Yaseen (یٰسین) is formed from two Arabic letters, yā and sīn, which open the thirty-sixth surah of the Quran and give it its name (36:1). They belong to the "disjointed letters" that begin several surahs, whose meaning most Muslims hold to be known only to God. Yā Sīn is also traditionally counted among the epithets of the Prophet Muhammad, and that is how most name lists explain it; others give "prosperous" or "blessed", for which we found no dictionary basis.
