What Does the Name Yasmin Mean?
Yasmin means 'jasmine' and comes from Arabic yāsamīn (ياسمين). Arabic took the word from Persian yāsaman or yāsamīn (یاسمن / یاسمین), the name of the jasmine plant and its flowers. The immediate source of the given name is the Arabic form. English Jasmine is related but reached English through Old French jassemin, also from Arabic; Yasmin is normally a direct rendering of the Arabic and Persian name rather than a shortened form of the English flower name. The further origin of the Persian word is not known with certainty.
Yasmin Name History & Origins
Yasmin is a floral given name used in Arabic-speaking countries, Iran, Turkey, and South Asia, and among Muslim communities in other regions. It is a direct transliteration of Arabic yāsamīn, the ordinary word for jasmine. In Persian, the related forms yāsaman and yāsamīn are both current. Because the name is also a common noun for a flower, it is not tied to a single religious figure or legend. European languages borrowed the same plant word by a separate route: Arabic yāsamīn became Old French jassemin, which developed into English jasmine. The spelling Yasmin is one of several transliterations of the Arabic name; Yasmeen, Yasmina, and Jasmine are related names with their own histories.
