Jazmina
Meaning of Jazmina
Jazmina is a feminine name with roots in the Persian word yasmin, meaning “jasmine,” which passed through Arabic adoption before taking shape in Spanish as Jazmina. Evoking the subtle fragrance and timeless elegance of the jasmine flower, the name carries connotations of purity and gentle strength. In the United States, its popularity has remained modest—hovering around the mid-900s in recent birth-registration rankings—making it a distinctive yet approachable choice for parents seeking a familiar floral name with a slightly exotic twist. The name’s phonetic balance, marked by a soft initial consonant and a stressed middle syllable, lends it a melodic quality that works equally well in formal settings and everyday conversation.
