Mar Yenuka — the younger — is one of the two sons of Rav Chisda whom the Talmud names as a pair, the other being Mar Kashisha, the elder; the two are cited together, and those epithets are how the Bavli tells them apart.

He belongs to the fifth Babylonian generation and is named five times, one apiece in Bava Batra, Bava Metzia, Chullin, Pesachim and Taanit, appearing beside Rav Ashi and Amemar. Beyond his father's house and that company, the reference tradition holds little about him that can be stated firmly.

A son of Rav Chisda, paired with Mar Kashisha.
