History & Origin

Jasmine and its variants derive from the Persian yasmin, the name of the star-shaped fragrant white flower prized since antiquity. The name entered Western usage as floral names became fashionable in the Victorian era. The Jazmin spelling reflects the Spanish Jazmín variant.

Jazmin gained traction in the United States particularly in the 1990s and 2000s, influenced by the popularity of the Jasmine spelling and by Hispanic naming traditions. It remains a consistent choice particularly in Latino communities, where the z spelling aligns with Spanish orthography.
