Jasmin is a flower name that goes back to the Persian yasamin, the fragrant "jasmine" blossom, which reached English by way of Arabic and French. Without the final e it is the usual spelling in German and Scandinavian countries and a popular alternative in the United States, where Disney's Princess Jasmine boosted every spelling in the 1990s. Jasmin ranked number 193 in the United States in 2000, peaked at number 181 in 2004, left the top 1000 in 2017 and stands at number 1409 in 2025.
