Today, Jasmine is one of the most common baby names (popularity 93/100).

It is less common today than at its historical peak.

The name Jasmine originates from the Persian word 'yasmin,' meaning 'gift from God' or referring to the jasmine flower. It entered English through Old French as 'jasmin' and became widely used as a given name in the 20th century. The jasmine flower is highly symbolic in many cultures, often representing love, beauty, and purity. In Persian and Arabic traditions, it is cherished for its sweet fragrance and delicate appearance. The name gained further popularity in English-speaking countries due to its floral association and melodic sound.
