Yazmina
Meaning of Yazmina
Yazmina traces back to the Persian Yasemīn—literally “jasmine”—imbuing the feminine name with imagery of delicate white blossoms and subtle fragrance. In Arabic it’s pronounced yahz-MEE-nah (/jaːzmiːna/), while Spanish speakers articulate it similarly as yahz-MEE-nah (/ʝasˈmina/). Though it has never generated fireworks on the U.S. Social Security popularity charts—peaking at a modest number 801 in 1987 and hovering around the mid-900s in recent years—its intermittent yet enduring presence over multiple decades suggests more resilience than many passing fads. The name’s floral connotation conveys both simplicity and depth, like a single jasmine petal afloat on a still pond, offering parents a choice that harmonizes Persian heritage with a quiet, global sophistication.
