Meaning of the name Yasmin
Yasamin, also pronounced yasmin, is the Arabic name of jasmine, borrowed very early from the Persian yasaman: Ibn Manzur records it in the Lisan al-ʿArab as an Arabised Persian word already used by pre-Islamic poets. The name evokes the whiteness, delicacy and fragrance of the flower. English jasmine comes from the same word through Arabic and Old French.
