The name "Yostina" is derived from the Latin name "Justina." The names are the same, just pronounced differently. "Yostina" is the Arabic way of saying Justina. Another example of this is Jose, which is the Spanish version of Joseph. Justina (and Justine) come from the Latin name lustina, a derivative of lustus,which means fair or just. The masculine version of the Justina is Justin. There are two saints who were named Justina but the saint most likely named after for Yostina is Saint Justina of Antioch. You can find her story here: http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/death/cyprian_justina.aspx.
