History & Origin

Yasma belongs to the Yasmin / Yasmina family, from Persian yasamin, the jasmine flower, borrowed into Arabic as yasmin. The clipped form Yasma is modern rather than classical, which we note. Soft, floral, and short (said 'YAHZ-muh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, floral, and gently exotic.

Did you know? Yasmin travelled from Persian yasamin into Arabic, then into half the languages of Europe — and it always meant the same white, night-scented flower. Yasma is its short modern cousin (said 'YAHZ-muh').
