Honestly, very overused name in the country I'm from. I am sick of hearing this name. I don't like the way it sounds. I also do not think it is an especially feminine or pretty name. It's just a common ordinary name. It is a village name, not that there is anything wrong with a village name but this one is very boring. A lot of old women have this name and for the city women with this name, they are all extremely serious and boring. Sorry.
Such a beautiful name. The look and meaning are simply gorgeous to me!
Vesna Vulovic was a Serbian flight attendant who survived a 33,000 foot fall out of a passenger plane after it exploded. It is still the highest fall ever survived without a parachute.
I like this name. It also has a very pretty meaning.
Name «Vesna» no way means «messenger»! Serbian, Croatian and Russian are related names, in Russian and some other Slavic «Vesna» (vəs-NA) means «spring». [noted -ed]
Pronounced "VES-na".
Vesna does not mean "messenger" nor does it stem from the word "vest" (which translates as news or message). Vesna was the name of a pre-Christian Slavic Goddess of Spring and Fertility. The word "Vesna" originates from Sanskrit and is related to the word "Vishnu" (the name of one of the three major Gods in Hinduism).
What Anonymous was probably trying to say is that it is from a Indo European word "wósr̥" meaning spring (As that is the word Vesna comes from) But from my research I have found that Vesna does come from that word but Vishnu does not, Vishnu probably originates from some other source. It is however related to the Spanish word for summer "Verano", the Greek for spring έαρ (éar), and the Persian word for spring بهار‎ (bahâr).
Vesna means Spring in Russian. Google it if you do not believe me. Nothing to do with Sanskrit, sorry to commentor below. GODDESS of Spring...read that one too. Slavic origin.
Even though Vesna has been on my list for a while now, I've only recently started considering it for a future daughter of mine. It's so unique and pretty.
