Meaning & origin
Yazmin is a floral name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1958. It reached its peak popularity in 2006, ranking around 1643 in 2025, with about 1 in 12,756 newborns given the name that year. The name's trajectory has been falling since 2007, reflecting a broader shift away from some Jasmine variants. It is most common in California, Arizona, and Texas, indicating strong usage in Hispanic communities. Yazmin offers a distinct spelling from the more traditional Jasmine, yet remains recognizable and easy to pronounce. Its decline in recent years suggests it may come across as dated to some parents, though it still holds appeal for those seeking a familiar name with a unique twist.
Yazmin is a variant of Jasmine, which ultimately comes from Persian 'yasamin' meaning 'jasmine flower.' The name entered European languages through Arabic 'yasmin' and became popular in English-speaking countries. The spelling 'Yazmin' emerged in the mid-20th century as a phonetic adaptation, particularly in Hispanic communities.
