Jasmine: meaning and origin
Jasmine is the English word for the climbing plant with fragrant flowers used in perfume. Behind the Name says the word comes via Arabic from the Persian yāsamīn, which is also a Persian name, and Wikipedia adds that it reached English through Old French. In the United States, Behind the Name says, the name grew steadily from the 1970s, especially among African Americans, and peaked in the early 1990s, shortly after Disney’s Aladdin (1992) introduced a princess by this name.
Nicknames and variants
Jasmine has many spellings. Behind the Name lists Jasmin, Jasmyn, Jazmin, Jazmine, Jazmyn, Yasmin, Yasmine and Jessamine as English forms, and Wikipedia adds the Dutch Jasmijn and the Turkish Yasemin. Whichever spelling she has, a Jasmine shares her name with a flower.
