Meaning and origin of Jazmin
Jazmin is a Spanish and Persian name that means “jasmine flower”.
Jazmin is the Spanish spelling of Jasmine, the fragrant climbing plant with white or yellow flowers. The word came into European languages through Arabic from the Persian yasamin. In Spanish the name is written Jazmín, with the stress on the last syllable, but in the United States it is usually said like Jasmine. Jazmin is popular among Hispanic families and has a bright, fresh sound. It belongs with other flower names such as Lily and Rose, and Jaz or Jazzy are lively nicknames.
