I will try to contact
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
with a Mexican philologist that I know from another board to ask about Yesenia. Perhaps the novel itself has a clue about the name or when the novel was made soap opera (twice) in interviews or articles it was explained and some of her relatives or acquaitances remember it (both adaptations to TV were extraordinarily popular).
