What Jasmine means
Where Jasmine comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Jasmine reached English through Latin, and Latin had borrowed it from Persian. The Persian word was yasamin, the name of a white flowering shrub, and the meaning has stayed close to that root: the jasmine flower.
The plant traveled west long before the word became a girl's name. By the nineteenth century Jasmine was in use across Britain and America, one of the flower names parents reached for alongside Rose, Lily, and Violet.
Then came 1992. Disney's Aladdin gave the name to its princess, and Jasmine rose through the American charts across that decade. Whatever the century, the name has kept one meaning: the jasmine flower.
