Origin and meaning of Jasmine
Jasmine comes from the Persian yāsamīn, the jasmine flower, which reached European languages through the Arabic yāsamīn. Fragrant and delicate, the name carries an aura of Eastern sweetness. It is very common in the English-speaking world and in France, and gained further popularity through the world of fairy tales; its many variants such as Yasmin and Yasmine show how it travels between Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, always tied to the flower's unmistakable scent.
