Yati is from the Sanskrit yati (यति — ascetic, sage, one who restrains) + Burmese ရတီ. Yati is one of the Sanskrit-derived feminine + unisex names — central to traditional Hindu + Buddhist + Burmese Theravada heritage. Notable bearer: Yati Yati — Burmese figure.
Yati 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.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Yati reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
