Yemina Origin and Meaning

The name Yemina is a girl's name.

Yemina is a feminine name with Hebrew origins, likely a variant of Jemima, which appears in the Bible as one of Job's daughters and means 'dove' or 'day'. In some Spanish-speaking contexts, it may be related to Yemanja, a goddess of water in certain African diasporic traditions. The name has a flowing, melodic quality with its three syllables and gentle ending. While uncommon in mainstream Western naming, Yemina offers exotic appeal while remaining relatively straightforward to pronounce. The name carries connotations of peace and beauty through its connection to the dove symbolism. Parents might choose this name seeking something distinctive with biblical connections but less commonly used than other Hebrew-derived names.
