★ What does Jasmine mean?
Jasmine flower
English, from the flower name, through French and Arabic from Persian yasamin.
Say it right
JAZmin
The story of Jasmine
Jasmine is the name of a sweet-scented flowering plant. The word came into English from French jasmin, which took it from Arabic, and the Arabic word goes back to Persian yasamin. The names Yasmin and Yasmine come from the same root, as do the older English forms Jessamine and Jessamy.
As a flower name it sits with Lily, Rose and Hazel, though its roots lie much further east. It is also used as a surname in some places.
Jasmine first appears in the CSO records in 1985. It grew steadily for two decades, and its best year was 2007, with 71 girls at number 84. It has eased back since, with 23 girls in 2025. It was a little more popular in Northern Ireland, where it reached number 56 in 2006.
