About the name Yasmin
Yasmin is a girl name of Persian origin meaning "jasmine flower". It is most commonly used in Muslim families and is especially popular in Iran.
Yasmin comes from the Persian word for the jasmine flower, and it travelled into Arabic, Turkish and eventually into European languages as Jasmine — one of the clearest examples of a Persian loanword becoming a Western name. Yasemin is the Turkish form. The flower association makes it a natural fit for parents drawn to botanical names with a real cultural root.
