History & Origin

Yazmin traces back to Persian, where the word names the jasmine flower, prized for its scent. This is the same flower-name that gives English Jasmine, with Yazmin being one of its many respellings. The variations Jasmin, Jasmine, Jasmyn, Jazmin and Jazmine all carry the same floral root.

The 'z' spelling gives Yazmin a slightly different look while keeping the soft Persian sound intact. Bearers of the related Jasmine form include Jasmine Tookes (born 1991) and the singer known as Birdy, born Jasmine van den Bogaerde (born 1996).

Did you know? Yazmin is a spelling variant of Jasmine, so it keeps the same core meaning, 'jasmine flower', from Persian yasmin, while changing the visual style.
