What Does the Name Jasmine Mean?
Jasmine is a female given name used in English and other languages. It comes from the word for the jasmine flower: English jasmine derives from French jasmin, from Arabic yāsamīn, from Persian yāsamin (also written yāsaman). In Persian, the word denotes the jasmine plant and its blossoms. The name's literal sense is "jasmine flower," often given more descriptively as "fragrant flower." The further origin of the Persian word is uncertain; an old suggestion of a link to Greek iasmē is not firmly established, and the usual direction of transmission is from Persian into Arabic and then into European languages.
Jasmine Name History & Origins
The word behind the name is Persian. It passed into Arabic as yāsamīn and from Arabic into European languages; French jasmin is the immediate source of English jasmine. As a given name in English, Jasmine is a flower name, comparable in formation to Rose or Violet, rather than a direct survival of the Persian personal name. In Persian and Arabic, the related names Yāsamin and Yāsmīn are traditional. Other European forms include Jasmin in French and German and Jazmín in Spanish; English speakers also use Yasmin and Yasmeen. Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin (1992) is a well-known modern fictional bearer; that film is a literary and media association, not the name's origin.
