Meaning & origin
Jasmin is a floral name of Persian origin that entered the English-speaking name pool in the late 19th century. The name saw its peak popularity in 2005, when it ranked higher than its current standing. Since then, its usage has been falling: in 2025, Jasmin ranked 1406, with about 1 in every 10,369 girls given the name. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1951, and its highest concentration is in states such as Arizona, Georgia, and Illinois. The spelling variant Jasmin is less common than the standard Jasmine but carries the same fragrant botanical meaning.
Jasmin is a variant of Jasmine, which comes from the Persian word yasmin (یاسمن), the name of the jasmine flower. The flower was introduced to Europe in the 16th century, and the name was adopted for girls in English-speaking countries in the late 19th century. Jasmin is a common spelling variant, especially in German and Scandinavian contexts.
