History & Origin

Jassmine is one of many creative respellings that multiplied around Jasmine during its popularity peak in the late nineteen-eighties and nineties. The base name traces to Persian 'yasmin', the flower, and reached English by way of Arabic and French.

The doubled-s form itself never became common, reaching only a few dozen girls a year around the late nineteen-nineties before receding. It reads as a personal flourish on a name that was everywhere at the time.

Did you know? For all its extra letter, Jassmine carries the same meaning as its parent: it is simply the fragrant white jasmine flower, whose name traveled from Persian 'yasmin' through Arabic and French into English.
