Jasmine

Associated with the jasmine flower.

Jasmine is a widely used feminine given name with a clear cultural association: the jasmine flower. It appears across many languages and regions, so it tends to feel familiar even when someone has not encountered it often as a first name. Etymologically, Jasmine is commonly linked to Persian and related naming vocabulary for ‘jasmine’, and the name travels through multiple languages into modern usage. Because it moves between scripts and transliteration conventions, you’ll see several common spellings in Latin script, including Jasmin, Yasmin, and Yasmine. These variants are often used in different countries or families rather than signaling different names. Pronunciation in English is often JAZ-min. A practical tip is that some speakers say “JASS-min” or “JAZ-meen”; if you have a preference, stating it once usually resolves the variation quickly.
