About the name Yasmin
Yasmin is the Persian original standing behind the English jasmine, and the flower's night-blooming scent is baked into its reputation. It is far commoner in Britain and across the Middle East than in the US, where the Jasmine spelling took the ground first.
Yasmin is a girl name of Persian origin, pronounced YAZ-min. On the NameRarity scale it scores 71 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
