Meaning & origin
Yasmine, a name of Persian and Arabic origin meaning 'jasmine flower,' entered U.S. records in 1951. It reached its peak popularity in 1999, and since 1998 it has been on a steady decline, currently ranking 1183rd in 2025 with approximately 1 in 8,200 baby girls receiving the name. The name has been most concentrated in Nevada, Connecticut, and Michigan. While Yasmine shares roots with the more common Jasmine, its distinctive spelling has maintained a consistent, if modest, presence in American naming.
Yasmine is a variant of Yasmin, derived from the Persian word yasmin, referring to the jasmine flower. Via Arabic, the name spread across the Muslim world and into Europe. In Arabic, it also shares roots with the name Yasmineh, and is sometimes linked to the Hebrew name Yishma'el, meaning 'God has heard,' though this connection is debated.
