Meaning & origin
Yasamin, the Persian original of Jasmine, has been a consistent but uncommon presence in U.S. records since 1978. Its usage peaked in 1990, reflecting a broader interest in floral and international names during that period. Despite its low rank of 14,942 in 2025, the name has maintained a stable trajectory, never experiencing dramatic surges or declines. With only about 1 in 321,453 babies receiving the name in 2025, Yasamin remains a distinctive choice that honors Persian heritage without feeling obscure.
Yasamin is the Persian word for the jasmine flower, derived from Middle Persian 'yasaman'. The name has been used across Persian-speaking regions and in the broader Islamic world, often as a feminine given name evoking the fragrant white flower. It is a variant of the more widely known 'Yasmin' or 'Jasmine', which came into European use through Arabic and Persian sources.
