Origin and meaning of Gelsomina
Gelsomina is an Italian name drawn from the jasmine flower, which reached Europe through the Persian yāsamīn and Arabic, and stands for sweetness and delicacy thanks to its intense scent. Made unforgettable by the heroine of Federico Fellini's film La Strada, it is now rare and poetic, old-fashioned in flavour. It remains almost exclusively Italian, chosen for its tenderness and flowery musicality.
