Meaning & origin
Jazmine is a modern respelling of Jasmine, a name that has been popular in the U.S. since the late 20th century. The name first appeared on the Social Security list in 1971 and reached its peak popularity in 1994, ranking in the top 100 that year. Since 1998, its usage has been declining; as of 2025 it ranked 992nd, with approximately 1 in 6,303 girls receiving the name. The variant Jazmine has been most prevalent in states like Nevada, Arkansas, and Kentucky. The spelling reflects a broader trend of creative phonetic variants that became fashionable in the late 1900s, giving the classic floral name a distinctive edge.
Jazmine is a respelling of Jasmine, which derives from the Persian word yasmin, the name of a climbing shrub with fragrant white or yellow flowers. The name came into English via Old French and Arabic. Jazmine emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend toward inventive spellings, first recorded in the U.S. in 1971.
