About the name Yasmin
Yasmin comes from the Persian yasaman, the name of the fragrant jasmine flower, which passed into Arabic as yasmin. The same source gave English the word jasmine through French and medieval Latin. Jasmine has long been cultivated in Persian and Arab gardens and is used in perfumes, teas, and garlands. The name is used across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, as well as in Britain and elsewhere. Yasemin is the Turkish form and Yasmine the French spelling. The British model Yasmin Le Bon is a well-known bearer.
