Meaning & origin
Yasmin entered U.S. records in 1949 and reached its peak popularity in 2006. Since then its usage has fallen, but it remains a recognizable Persian-origin name with cross-cultural appeal. The name is most frequent in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maryland. In 2025 it ranked 955, with a 1-in-5975 usage rate, reflecting its steady but diminished presence compared to its peak in the mid-2000s.
Yasmin derives from the Persian word 'yasaman' (یاسمن), meaning jasmine flower. The name spread through the Arabic-speaking world and into European languages via trade and cultural exchange. It has been used in English-speaking countries since the 20th century, gaining popularity in the 1970s and 1980s.
