A name that means "anna of kiev (queen of france)".

Yaroslavna means "daughter of Yaroslav." Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1030-c. 1075) was the Kievan princess, daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise, who traveled across Europe to marry King Henry I of France in 1051, becoming Queen Anne of France. She was literate (signing documents in her own hand in Cyrillic) while her French husband was not — an Old Slavonic gospel book she brought is said to be the one on which French kings swore their coronation oaths.

Mother of King Philip I of France.

Daughter of Yaroslav. Literate Kievan princess who became Queen of France.

Where Yaroslavna stands.

Yaroslavna does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
