Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jazmine

Jazmine is an Americanized respelling of the French/Arabic female name Jasmine, from the old Persian “yasamin”, the name of the flowering plant of the olive genus. The Jasmine is a very fragrant climbing flower and a symbol of elegance and grace. In Arabic, Jasmine means ‘gift from God’. Jazmine is a new coinage, invented in the United States as a result of the popularity of Jasmine.

All About the Baby Name – Jazmine

Personality

OF THE GIRL NAME JAZMINE

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. They exude nurturing, loving, and caring energy. Sixes are in love with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people toward them. Like the number Two personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world at large. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a champion for the underdog. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by lovely material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive in giving back to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they achieve great things. Sixes are natural teachers, ministers and counselors.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME JAZMINE

The name Jasmine really took off in popularity in the United States during the 1980s – which is when respellings started to appear on the charts. Jazmin was first in 1981 and Jazmine followed shortly thereafter in 1985. While Jasmine is still the favorite spelling by a long shot, the other alterations have been shadowing her success on the charts (even if at more moderate levels of popularity). The other respellings include Jazmyn and Jasmin. It is all a bit complicated and confusing, but we do think that the “Jaz” prefix does “jazz” up this old Persian name.
