Yeganeh (یگانه) is a Persian feminine given name formed from the adjective yegāneh meaning 'unique' or 'matchless.' The lexeme appears in classical and modern Persian literature as an adjective denoting singularity or unmatched excellence; it is therefore used as a personal name in contemporary Iran and among Persian-speaking communities. The name is linguistically transparent in Persian (yegāneh ← yegān/ yegan + -eh nominalizing ending). Yeganeh is not a Quranic name; its origin is Persian rather than Arabic. In poetic and Sufi registers the root is sometimes used metaphorically to describe divine unity or a singular beloved, which is why it appeals to parents seeking a name with subtle mystical resonance. Related forms and spellings in Persian and romanization include [[Yegānā]] and [[Yegana]], and similar names in meaning include Yegan/Yegān. Usage is best documented in modern civil records, literary sources, and contemporary name lists from Iran; it has been adopted as both a given name and a family name without specific ties to a single historical figure.
