Origin and meaning of Yasmin
Yasmin comes from the Persian yāsamīn, later passing into Arabic, and denotes the 'jasmine,' the white flower whose intense scent symbolises beauty and delicacy. The name thus evokes grace, sweetness and fragrant refinement. It is very common in the Arab and Middle Eastern world, while its variants Jasmine, Yasmine and Jasmin are hugely popular in Europe and the English-speaking countries. Musical and exotic, it blends Eastern charm with international recognisability, in a tone that is elegant, feminine and instantly evocative of nature.
