Jasmine (given Name)

Jasmine is an English feminine given name.

History

As a name, Jasmine is of English origin, referring to the plant of the same name. However, in terms of etymology, the word jasmine is of Persian origin (in Persian: Yasmin). It entered the English language through Old French.

Today, Jasmine is one of the most popular names in the Western world and has numerous spellings. In the United States, it entered popular use in 1973, and from 1986 until 2008 was among the 100 most popular names for American girls. It has since declined in popularity, but remains among the top 200 most popular names for girls in the United States. In the Arab World, Turkey, Brazil, Israel, Hungary, Belgium, and Argentina, the name Jasmine, or one of its variants, remains popular.
