Meaning and origin of Yasmine
Yasmine is a Persian and Arabic name that means “jasmine flower”.
Yasmine is a form of Yasmin, which comes from the Persian yasamin, the name of the jasmine flower. The word passed into Arabic and then into European languages, giving English its own word jasmine. As a given name, Yasmine is common in Arabic-speaking countries and in France, where the final e is a typical spelling. The flower's sweet fragrance and white blossoms give the name a soft, romantic image. Yasmine suits families who want a floral name with a cosmopolitan feel, and Yas or Mina make easy nicknames.
Other spellings with the same sound: Yasmin.
