Meaning

Jasmine, referring to the flowering plant.

The exact Yasmin entry links the name to Jasmine and to Arabic/Persian transliterations. Jasmine’s personal-name etymology traces the plant word through French and Arabic to Persian; the linked lexical entry identifies the fragrant flowering plant. This source-checks the plant-name meaning rather than predicting a bearer’s character.

Origin

Arabic and Persian name traditions, with later use in English and other languages.

The exact English and German entries identify Arabic/Persian transliteration routes. The Jasmine family’s word history reaches back through Arabic to Persian; Portuguese and Tagalog document their own later uses. One language of use is not presented as the sole older origin.
