Meaning & origin
Yasemin is a Turkish and Persian form of Jasmine, a floral name that has seen steady but limited use in the United States since it was first recorded in 1964. Its peak year was 1999, after which usage has remained stable. The name has never entered the top 1000 rankings, making it a distinctive choice. Yasemin has never been recorded for boys, remaining solidly feminine.
Yasemin is the Turkish and Persian form of the name Jasmine, which ultimately derives from the Persian word 'yasmin' meaning 'jasmine flower'. The name entered Western languages through Arabic, and in Turkey it has been a popular girls' name since the mid-20th century. Its use in English-speaking countries is more recent, often chosen to honor Turkish or Persian heritage.
