Ancient (Arabic)

A name that means "good fortune, right side".

Yumna (يمنى) is the Arabic word for "right side" — by extension, "good fortune" or "blessed" (the right side being the side of blessing in Arab tradition). From the same root as Yemen.

Yumna is widely used across the Arab world.

Good fortune. The Arabic right-handed blessing.

Where Yumna stands.

Yumna 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.
