Fame, prayer
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Yashna (यश्ना) is a modern name. Families usually connect it with Sanskrit yaśas, "fame, glory", the root of names such as Yash and Yashika, and name lists explain it as "famous". Others link it with yasna, the Avestan word for worship in the Zoroastrian tradition, and give "prayer". We could not find yashna in the Sanskrit dictionaries, so neither meaning can be confirmed for this exact form.
