Yorleny

Yorleny is a uniquely Costa Rican name with a fascinating story. The name comes from the letter sign-off "Yours, Lenny," written by sailor Lenny Smith to his wife in Costa Rica. The name debuted in Costa Rica in the 1940s, eventually peaking in the '60s. Here in the US, Yorleny made its first appearance in 2000, and has been given to a few girls every year since.

Pronounced yor-LAY-nee.

As of October 2026, Yorleny ranked #11037 for girls in US births in 2024 SSA.
