History & Origin

Yasmina means 'jasmine' in Arabic, naming the sweet-scented blossom directly. It belongs to a broad family of jasmine names that spread across languages, appearing as Yasmin, Yasmine, and the spelling Yasmeen. The flower's perfume and beauty give the whole group its appeal.

The added final a lends Yasmina a softer, more rounded ending than the clipped Yasmin. The name is worn by Algerian-French author Yasmina Khadra and French playwright Yasmina Reza, showing its reach across the Arabic-speaking and Francophone worlds.

Did you know? Yasmina is a spelling variant of Yasmin, so it keeps the same core meaning of 'jasmine' while changing the visual style.
