Meaning & origin

Jasmina is a feminine name with Persian and Arabic roots, meaning 'jasmine flower'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1972 and reached its peak rank of 7,133 in 1987. Since 2005, its usage has been declining, reflecting broader trends away from similar floral names. While not among the most common names, Jasmina retains a distinctive, multicultural appeal, with many bearers in the Balkans and among Arabic-speaking communities. Its gentle sound and floral connection offer a meaningful choice for families seeking a name with global resonance.

Jasmina is a feminine name derived from the Persian word 'yasamin', via Arabic 'yas(a)min', referring to the jasmine flower. The name spread through the Ottoman Empire and into the Balkans and other European regions. It gained popularity in the West as a variant of Jasmine, which entered English usage in the 20th century.
