What does “yn” mean in slang online?

[lindamary]

I keep seeing “yn” used in chats and TikTok comments — can someone explain what “yn slang” actually stands for and when people use it?

"yn" stands for "your name" in online slang. Fanfiction, text scenarios, and role-playing postings frequently employ it to allow readers to immerse themselves in the narrative. For instance, you should picture your own name in a paragraph like "He smiled at yn."

“yn” in online slang usually stands for “your name.” It’s used in fanfiction, chats, or role-play to let the reader insert their own name into the story. It personalises conversations or scenarios by replacing a character’s name.
