History & Origin
Jasma looks like a coined trim of Jasmine, the flower name that swept American nurseries in the nineteen-eighties and nineties. Jasmine itself descends from the Persian yasmin, the sweet-scented jasmine blossom, so Jasma carries that floral meaning in a shorter frame.
Unlike its famous parent it never caught on widely, peaking modestly at the end of the nineteen-eighties and disappearing within a decade. It reads as a period variant β a parent who loved Jasmine's sound but wanted something less expected.
