History & Origin

Jasmon is a coined boy's name of the nineteen-eighties, best understood as a masculine trimming of Jasmine or as Ja- plus a -smon ending. Jasmine itself comes from the Persian yasamin, the sweet white flower. Jasmon carried that root in a novel direction and stayed a rare, of-the-moment choice, distinct from the girls' name it echoes.

Jasmon was scarce, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak in the late nineteen-eighties, and it soon faded. A boy named Jasmon then would be in his late thirties today.

Did you know? Jasmon takes the fragrant flower-name Jasmine, almost always a girl's name, and clips it into a rare masculine form, a small piece of nineteen-eighties name invention.
